Sounds good to me. As for a stop in Pittsburgh, I would suggest Primanti Bros. at PA turnpike exit 48 (Allegheny Valley, Old exit 5). I assume the caravan will be on the PA Turnpike. Primanti Bros. serves Pittsburgh-style sandwiches, and it is only about 1 mile south of the turnpike exit. If someone had something specific in mind that they wanted to try let me know, but downtown Pittsburgh is approximately 15 miles from PA Trnpk exits 39, 48 and 57 so it is not feasible to go downtown. BTW, Pittsburgh-style is with fries and cole slaw on the sandwich.
