Brand new day, brand new city ~ Pittsburgh, PA
Another trip to the (somewhat) northeast...and another day of snow...but apparently as we learned, here in Pittsburgh...it can be grey and snow all day, yet never accumulate an inch...who knew...Betty and Zeek had a blast seeing it come and go all day long!!!
Zeek started the day like many other on the road...signing autographs!! this time at the Urban League of Pittsburgh!
Here Zeek dives right in to a book he received as a gift from the Urban League.
It wouldn't be a National Ambassador trip without a stop at our national sponsors, Famous Footwear...
...or Kmart for that matter!! As always, we had quite a reception at each.
Next stop was a lunch and team captain kickoff at FedEx ground!!!
Betty & Zeek did get a minute to relax on the Monongahela Incline...try to say that five times, fast...impossible, but loads of fun :)
...and what a view of the city from the top!!
...and then we had to RUN back for cover...it really was snowing sideways!!!
Before we headed out of downtown, we stopped off at a local team, Marc USA...and they made Zeek and official Steelers fan.
Here Zeek poses with the company's team captains!!!
...and then they got down and dirty checking out all the loot Zeek came away with!
Our last stop before we called it a night and headed to dinner was Magee Hospital to visit their NICU and thank all the nurses and doctors for all they do for babies.
Finally, Chef Ed, prepared us quite a feast at P.F. Chang's!!!
...and Zeek got another tour of the kitchen...that is a LOT of rice up there!!!
