DIANNA L MEEKINS says
I would love to take my granddaughter to Pittsburgh. She is an animal lover and loves the zoo and aqauriums, so we take her to one everywhere we go. The last aqauarium we took her to had a sea turtle rescue and she is still talking about the turtles she saw. Another thing that fasinates her are inclines, she begs to ride the incline in Johnstown, PA everytime we go to visit her aunt. Pittsburgh is a rich city but I have never taken my granddaughter there. The last time I was in PIttsburgh was 9 years ago when I took my daughter to tour Pitt.
I would truly be grateful for this trip and would love to put another big smile on my granddaughter’s face.
Maggie says
The aquarium and Zoo in Pittsburgh are AMAZING! Good luck!

We are a family of doers and want to explore as much as we can.
