WHAT A DAY: Pittsburgh, PA - Day 3

SEPTEMBER 14, 2014
 
After a long day on Saturday, I slept in til 10 am...then packed up and hit the road back to Charlotte.
I stopped at some outlet stores on the way (as PA does not tax clothes), but made a special stop once I saw a sign for "coal fired" pizza.  Apparently I was on a pizza kick this weekend.

But it did not disappoint and the staff was great.
 
Also along the route, I went an antique store which housed some amazing WWII items as well as
the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston, WV.



The tours were given on the hour every hour; however, I came at a random time and didn't want to spend 45 minutes when I needed to get home to my pup.  I did see the tour guides were all dressed in nurses/doctor uniforms which was a bit creepy, but there is rumored to be ghosts in the building too.





 
The last stop I made was at the New River Gorge....yes again....It was too beautiful to not see again.



This time, I opted to walk down the stairs to get a better view.
And it was so worth the long climb back up to see the river and bridges.





And yes, even though I was driving, I had the Panthers in my thoughts....GO CAM!







And the trees are starting to show sign of Fall......can't wait.
After the hike up, I stopped by a nearby souvenir shop and luckily got the last bridge charm for my bracelet.  Then it was back on the road....but it was a good day for a road trip...no traffic, great weather, and beautiful scenery throughout.
