DH, DD (11) and I are trying to find a short getaway for the last 3 days of her spring break (I unforunately can only take off work the Friday of so limited on time). One thing we have wanted to do is visit the Flight 93 Memorial - so we have loosely laid out a plan of leaving our house in Central Kentucky and heading to my parents house in Eastern Kentucky on Thursday when we get off work, and then early Friday morning heading to Shanksville, PA. However, it doesn't seem there is much to do there for a weekend so we are dabbling with going to Pittsburgh for Friday and Saturday night.
I have to say Pittsburgh is not on my bucket list, but Mr. Google shows me there is probably enough things we could find for a short trip (mainly just on Saturday as we would need to head out early Sunday morning to head home).
Can anyone suggest good areas to stay in? Family friendly ideas of safe things to do? I thought the inclines looked interesting, as well as maybe the Heinz History Center? I have not researched a ton, this idea just kinda came about today. (We were originally hoping to go to my MIL's in Florida, so this was definitely not along that route!)
This would be April 8-10.
Thanks!
