Phipps Conservatory and the Monongahela Incline

Members of the Association traveled by chartered bus to the Phipps Conservatory to see the art of Claude Monet brought to life through horticultural displays. They also saw the Butterfly Forest where butterflies break free of their chrysalises and glide among the flowers.  After Phipps, they went to Station Square to board the  Monongahela Incline and view the city while riding up to Mount Washington.  They strolled along Mount Washington before returning to Station Square for lunch.

The May book was The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House by Kate Andersen Brower. The book summary says: America’s First Families are unknowable in many ways. No one has insight into their true character like the people who serve their meals and make their beds every day. Full of stories and details by turns dramatic, humorous, and heartwarming, The Residence reveals daily life in the White House.
