Our fourth annual Baseball Tour began June 14 with a flight from Denver to Pittsburgh. We moved the trip ahead by a month this year to see if we could avoid the brutal heat we had to deal with during the first two trips.
We originally expected to arrive late into Pittsburgh so no game was scheduled for today. But on Saturday we will visit PNC Park to see the Dodgers take on the Pirates followed by games in Cleveland, Detroit, Cincinnati, St. Louis and Kansas City. A whirlwind week.
So tonight was merely a pleasant evening enjoying downtown Pittsburgh including dinner at La Vela on Market Square, the fabulous PPG Complex, Three Rivers Art Festival, beautiful Point State Park where the Allegheny and the Monongahela Rivers join to form the Ohio River and a stroll up the Allegheny to view PNC Park from across the river.
Tomorrow its Play Ball!
