The early morning alarm seemed harsh, as we are on the road again today. We left Washington with many great memories and many friendships to return to.
Today is also Terri Harding's Birthday - so a special Happy Birthday was sung at 8am in the Lobby of our hotel.
We grabbed some more food from our favourite supermarket for the 6 hours trip to Pittsburgh. Many took the chance for some more sleep, or watch a movie on Ipads. The scenery along the way was mainly trees - we spotted small houses and farms along the way, but it looked very similar to parts of Australia - maybe the hills are a bit higher?
After a truck stop to get some lunch along the way - choose from Starbucks, Roy Rogers and a couple of other fast food franchises - we hit the road again for the one hour journey to our hotel.
The group had a choice of visiting the Andy Warhol Museum or hanging out at the hotel - the pool seemed a popular option! The Andy Warhol-ers found it very interesting with a variety of Andy Warhols exhibits and some things that he himself had collected. A working display called "Clouds" was fascinating, with Silver Clouds filled with Helium bouncing around a room with fans blowing - very interactive.
Dinner was held at a nearby restaurant, with a really great selection plus a surprise Birthday cake for Terri. A special song was performed by her Batman and Robins - Meredith and a few others! Very funny and Terri loved it!
So a really relaxing day with some lovely moments - and a hotel that REALLY delivers service - lots of stories to tell about American ideas about service - interesting!
A quick pep talk before bed from Christie about the World Choir Games and many happy faces headed to bed for an early night.
