Country Side PA

This weekend was a relatively relaxing one compared to previous weekends.
After a big night on Friday night (we went to our Friday night Happy Hour special with Cheryl, then out for more drinks with Ryan's mates from work), Ryan was pretty hungover on Saturday which made for fun driving!
We made our first stop at Meadville, an old country town, to visit the longest continuous market house in Pennsylvania. It took us a whole 2 minutes to walk through. So we kept driving on the hunt for some scenic waterfalls. The country side really is beautiful in PA. We didn't find any waterfalls, but we found some really nice rivers and creeks, as well as an awesome scenic outlook. When we got home we went to our local to order our new favourite and ever popular food - chicken wings - for dinner.






A nice creek we found



This was on the banks of the creek - nice huh?

On Sunday, we had all intentions of going to Pittsburgh for the day, however, the rain, snow and extremely bad fog stopped us from going there. So instead we drove to a little country town to visit Fallingwater.
Fallingwater is a house designed by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935 in rural southwestern Pennsylvania, about 50 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. The house is built right alongside a really pretty creek, and part of the house was built over a waterfall! It was a beautiful house too (giving us some ideas for when we get home!).

It was really nice. It would be very cool to have a waterfall under your house!
