Soo I hope everyone that reads my blog (cough...my family...cough) had a good looong weekend!! WOW the weather was amazing! AND I got to check an item off my bucket list, whoop!
So here it is.... pics from Fallingwater one of the most popluar homes built by amazing architect Frank Lloyd Wright. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the home so we made the trip to Pennsylvania.
It was definitely worth the 8 hour drive from Toronto :D
Karissa and Keaton Enjoying the view...
We stayed one night at the Blum House at Polymath Park built by one of Frank Lloyd Wrights apprentices in the classic Usonian style...
fun fact: In 1936 when the US was in an economic depression Wright developed a series of homes called Usonian. (Usonia being an abbreviated term for United States of North America). Designed to control costs, these homes were one level with no attics, basements or ornamentation on concrete slabs with piping for radiant heat. (Check out more pics of this house after the jump!)
We also happened to catch a Pittsburgh Steelers game vs. Tennessee Titans, which I am still thinking about as i watch the burn peel off my shoulders from the 30 degree sun that beat down on us for 4 hours ... good times
Heinz Field - over 60 000 fans
(we were literally the only ones NOT dressed like a Steeler... awkward)
