Item #1: If you didn't stop to reflect on the sacrifices made by your ancestors who served in the military over the weekend, take time to do it now.
Item #2: My girlfriend and I spent the weekend in Pittsburgh. We took in Fallingwater [house built by Frank Lloyd Wright], Fort Ligonier, Fort Pitt, the Duquesne Incline and the Strip in downtown, plus a couple of random stops along the way.
We passed by or visited several places tied to my ancestral heritage. Wheeling, WV - where John W. Simmons spent his final years; Canonsburg, PA - where John W. Simmons ran a tavern; Uniontown, PA - near where John Faucett resided from about 1770 - 1797 [roughly] before heading down the Ohio; Fort Pitt - John Faucett spent time there off and on during his Rev War service.
A fun weekend!!
