Pittsburgh On The Cheap: Day 4

Day four in Pittsburgh started with Marla heading to a meeting.  While she did that, I started our lunch of broccoli and noodle casserole that she wanted to try.

We cooked together when she got home and it turned out to be delicious.  After lunch, we headed for the Pittsburgh Zoo.  We had not been here together since she was three.  It was fun to take a leisurely trip to the zoo on a Monday.  There were no crowds and we could linger and watch the animals as long as we wanted.  It was especially fun to watch the Mama elephants with the young ones.  They seemed to enjoy watching us as much as we liked watching them.  Not so the primates.  They spent a lot of time hiding from us humans or looking the other way!

 

After the zoo, it was time for me to head back to Central PA.  Marla drove me to the bus station at the Convention center.  This time Megabus was right on time.  My hubby had downloaded the megabus app so he knew my exact ETA.  It was good to get back home.  It was a great visit in Pittsburgh for not a lot of $$!
