downtown pittsburgh....allegheny cemetary.....

So for some more of our adventures...........:0)
On sunday we took a trip to allegheny cemetary, one of the oldest and most beautiful cemetary's here (if a cemetary can be beautiful):). Really though, it was very pretty. It laid on about 300 acres of rolling hills. The grave stones (miniture houses) apparently date back to the late 1700s. What I mean by miniture houses is the grave stones literally looked like little houses. They were huge!!! I cant believe back in the 1800s the built these. They looked so vain to us. I wonder what the Lord thinks? Anyway, he are some pictures....

YEP THATS RIGHT...,THESE ARE GRAVE STONES...
.
This was a beautiful place and I am glad we got to visit!!!
Then we headed to look at the city of pittsburgh. First we went to this look out point and got some pictures of the city itself. It was pretty cool. The city is so old. We took a ride on this old cable railway called the Duquesne incline. It has been serving transportation since 1877....Anyway we thought it was pretty cool!
