So often we only have time to see an airport, taxi and hotel in different cities, so Tami and I took an extra day and came to Pittsburgh yesterday.
Meetings will be held at the Sheraton Station Square, just across the river from downtown. This was the view from our window this morning.
The day was sunny and mild, perfect for our leisure day here.
This morning the free hotel shuttle took us over to Carnegie Science Center where we saw the exhibit BODIES. It was a great exhibit and we spent a couple of hours there, learning a lot.
Back to Station Square for lunch at Bar Louie, where we ate outside overlooking the Mon.
After that we joined some of the other CyberProfessionals on the Duck Tour - great way to see both the city, from land and from sea. Our guide is just graduating as a theater major, and he and the driver/captain kept us educated and entertained all the way.
We really enjoy the spring CyberProfessionals meetings as we get to see smaller cities that can't host the big conventions. We've been to Providence, Albuqerque and Annapolis, for example.
The next two days should be filled with lots of ideas.

My husband grew up outside of Pittsburgh and most of his family is still there. I'm always impressed with how clean the city is! The Carnegie Science Center is one our family favorites. We have to drag the kids away every time we go! Station Square, Mount Washington and The Point are more of our favorites.
Can't wait to hear about your meeting - you will share all those great ideas, right Sharon!
