Day one: Put it in the books!
Driving down the PA turnpike we found some interesting billboards!Definitely do not see them in NJ!
The Prius got us safely to Pittsburgh!

| PNC |
 |
| Heinz Field |
What a beautiful day! High of 82, low humidity. We walked around the Point State Park where you can see Heinz Field and PNC Park across the Allegheny river!
Beautiful Park, but unfortunately they were doing some construction on the actual Point so we couldn't get all the way to the edge. The walkway goes from the point all the way to the Roberto Clemente Bridge! There were some fun things along the way!

| Under 1 of the Bridges |

| Large Rings |

| Di Holding up PNC! |
 |
| Cool mural |
In Town there were these cool murals showing the evolution of Pittsburgh. The one to the right here is one of them!
All this leading up to the Roberto Clemente Bridge. 
They close the bridge during game days and use it solely as a pedestrian bridge. Pretty cool standing in the middle of town on a main bridge with no cars!
Here's the view from the Ballpark side toward Pittsburgh!
Outside of PNC there are statues of:
 |
| Bill Mazeroski |
 |
| Roberto Clemente |
 |
| Willie Stargell We met up with our friends, the Bergs, and took our seats in the ballpark. |
 |
| Section 29 Row D Seats 1-5 |
 |
| Primanti Brothers Sandwich! |
And got to see the potential MVP and Bucs Mascot!
 |
| Andrew McCutchen |
 |
| Parrot |
Erik Bedard pitched a gem: 7innings 2 hits for the Win
