Cleveland Rocks!
My husband and I both grew up in Cleveland. I don’t think we thought we lived in such a rockin’ place when we were younger. Last weekend we went home for a visit. I love being a tourist in this city! So much to see and do!!
Friday we took the kids to our old favorite hang outs on Coventry (the Greenwich village of Cleveland). Most are gone now and the crowd isn’t quite so hippy but it was still fun. Playing at the playground and eating dinner at Tommy’s. We need a Tommy’s here in Clintonville. It would surely do a bang up business!!! Pretty Pleeeeeze???
Saturday we headed to the newly renovated and free Art Museum. It is awesome!!!
Then we headed to The Botanical Gardens. I can’t say enough good things about the Hershey Children’s Garden. We could play there all day.
Look –apparently Ginger has a twin in Cleveland
Saturday night we took my in laws to Sokolowski’s to eat. On the recommendation of Anthony Bourdain of course– we got in touch with our Polish heritage!
Sunday morning we boarded The Rapid and headed to the Terminal Tower for a view from the observation deck. It has been closed since 9/11 and is only open for a few weekends.
Just about everyone in Cleveland had the same idea! We waited in kine for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Ginger was not happy
The ride up didn’t get much better
But the views were so cool! Cleveland really does rock! The ethnicity, the history and the big city feel.
Thanks Cleveland! We will be back soon!
