Cleveland Excursion

We took a day to head to Cleveland this month.  The girls have been asking to go to Top Golf again, and we finally made time to do it over spring break. Tuesdays are half price day, so it is a great day to go.

We started the day at Top Golf.  This time, we splurged on some lunches while we golfed.  Again, some of us were better than others, but all of us had fun.

         

From there, we went to Westside Market, which was closed on Tuesdays.  It was fine because we walked to Mitchell’s Ice Cream to get a scoop of deliciousness.  Interesting story here… While we walked down the sidewalk, we said hi to a man on the street.  He was dressed normally, but appeared to be a person who hangs out there a lot.  He didn’t follow us closely, but he did end up in Mitchell's shortly after us.  He asked if we would buy him some ice cream.  I said sure.  He said he wanted a double scoop of butter pecan.  I laughed out loud and told him we don’t even buy ourselves double scoops (I mean, that is a lot of ice cream, and a lot of money!).  We chatted some more about ice cream in general and introduced ourselves (his name was Kevin) while we waited there.  We handed him the ice cream.  He was gone before we all even had our ice cream in hand.  Would we have asked him to sit with us?  I don’t know.  It would have been the right thing to do though.  It was a good experience for all of us to be stretched a bit. 

Then, we went to the art museum.  It is free (except for parking), so even though we didn’t have a lot of time, and some of our group was not excited about going, it was fine.  In the end, everyone found something they liked looking at or doing.  There is an interactive room that is just generally a fun and interesting experience. 

         

Last stop, GV Art and Design.  It is a t-shirt shop run by a friend of Jeremy’s brother.  They have some really cool Cleveland apparel (also some other college and general Ohio stuff). The owner is also known for his Etch-A-Sketch work. 

Our ride home was only delayed by a stop for supper at Penn Station… with the obligatory chocolate chip cookie.  One of the only places I get dessert with a meal.  I love those things.

(This trip was made possible because of some wiling dog sitters; thank you, mom and dad!)
