Hello, Pittsburgh
So, it’s now 12:30AM in EDT and we’re about 30 miles outside of Pittsburgh, PA. This is another one of those last minute trips that Johnathan and I so like to do. We got bored tonight and we do have the whole weekend ahead of us, so even in the midst of a snow storm or a winter weather advisory or whatever Cleveland is going through right now, we packed a bag, punched Pittsburgh into the GPS (no real address, just “Pittsburgh”) and left. I drove a little bit in the snow and we spent a small amount of time doing some learning in a mostly empty parking lot, and then we really were on our way. So far, we’ve been taking it fairly slow. Big semis have been passing us because apparently we’re being too careful. It’s pretty clear that the snow storm is headed this way so it will very likely be into Pittsburgh by morning (the snow plows are primed and ready at intervals on the Pennsylvania turnpike as we make our way through), so we’ll see what there is to do tomorrow.
We have no real plans as to our recreation once we get to Pittsburgh. We’ll probably see if there’s a unique exhibit or museum that we want to see, and a couple of Johnathan’s friends will probably be here for the day as well. We may see if we can meet up with them, if they’re amenable to the proposition.
I’m really excited. The only real trip we’ve taken since I moved out to Ohio was to go to Columbus a few weeks ago, and I really enjoy our trips together. I think Johnathan and I just generally travel well together. It’s pretty darn pleasing, if you ask me. 
We’re getting off the turnpike in someplace called Cranberry, which is not only a really cool name for a city (I like cranberries!), but also has a lot of hotels. We’re going to crash for the night and then see what tomorrow holds. Hopefully Pittsburgh will be good to us.
