# 10. Gateway Clipper Fleet

Sorry for the long absence! Now that I graduated I've been settling back into life at home - unpacking, sleeping in late, working a little bit, and of course hanging with my fam. But, I have FOUR bucket list items to tell you all about! I was originally going to write one massive post about all of them, but just trying to do that overwhelmed me. I started to write the post, got about three sentences in, and quit. Instead, I'm going to disect the adventures of my last few weeks in Pittsburgh little by little that way I don't leave any amazing details out (and there are a lot!).

#10. Gateway Clipper Fleet

This may have been my most fun bucket list item so far. Why? Because my parents and brother did it with me. They came to visit for graduation weekend and I thought it would be a fun family thing to do - and I was right. Having my parents in Pittsburgh for a whole weekend for the first time ever was awesome. I got to show them so many parts of the city, and my life, that have become so important to me over the past four years. Going on the Gateway Clipper Fleet with them was so great because they really got a feel for the city I grew to call home.

For those of you who don't know, the Gateway Clipper Fleet is in Station Square. It includes three boats that are used for river tours, parties, dinners, and other special events. We chose the one-hour guided tour. Our guide was awesome - he focused on the historical aspects of Pittsburgh, explaining each important building in the skyline and how it helped Pittsburgh develop from it's steel days to one of the most livable cities in the US it is today. It was also cool for me because I wasn't aware of about half the facts he was spitting out, and it just made me fall in love with Pittsburgh that much more. Oh, and did I mention that the weather was gorgeous? Sunny skies and warm air - a rarity for us.

Here's a picture of me and my family on our tour:

Ps. I made some adjustments to my bucket list. I realized that some of the items I had on it weren't really important to me. So I took some off, and added some on. Check out the updated list on the right side of the page!
