Awesome Hotel Room

We slept in and took our time this morning in the hopes of missing the morning rush. We left our hotel around 9 but the interstate was stop and go the whole way through Chicago. We finally made it through that mess and then we had to drive across Indiana and Ohio on our way to Pittsburgh. We were on the road abount 9 hours and it made for a long day. We finally got to our hotel, and what a gorgeous hotel it was. It was another Hyatt we got through priceline. We dropped our stuff in our room and went to eat at Primanti Brothers. This place was shown on the Food Network. The sandwiches come with the fries and coleslaw piled on. It's a whole meal between two pieces of Italian bread. They were really good. Cassie ordered a kids meal of burger and fries. Looking at the picture, we thought it would come all together too, but it was a separate pile of fries and then her burger. This just didn't sit well with her, so she stacked her fries on the burger, loaded it with ketchup, and had a ball eating it. The meal was really good. We drove back to our hotel for a quick dip in the pool. And it was very quick. There were a couple of things floating around the pool. Cassie and Nick got in, and I asked Nick what it was. It actually looked like somebady may have blown chunks in the water. I quickly exited the pool. (I had only entered on the first step luckily, or their may have been more chunks in the water.) Nick also quickly exited. I don't think Cassie totally understood, because she just swam to the chunkless side of the pool. As soon as I explained what it may have been in better detail, she jumped right out also. I let the front desk know, and they were right on it. We came up to our room and watched HBO in High Def. There was a pretty good movie on that Nick had read the book. We watched that and just really enjoyed the room. Tomorrow, we will hopefully return home after we check out Pittsburgh.
