Cleveland Rocks?

We are strongly leaning towards making the drive to Cleveland over Memorial Day weekend to participate in our adoption agency’s annual picnic and parade at the zoo. It’s certainly going to be expensive - especially with the way gas prices are skyrocketing - but I think that giving my kids the chance to be part of a sea of families that all look like ours (kids and parents that don’t “match” by sight) is worth the price.

So, the question is - if PisecoDad can only take one day off of work (Friday) to drive out, and we’re at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo with the agency on Saturday, what should we do with ourselves on Sunday before driving home on Monday? And where should we go to eat, shop and buy board games?

The only item on our list so far is the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, because JediBoy has been dying to get to a museum with a T-Rex, and they have Jane the Juvenile Tyrannosaur there.

Anyone out there have the inside scoop on Cleveland?

Cedar Point!!!

Oh, wait, two in company won’t pass the height requirements for any of the roller coasters. Rats.

Too bad I don’t have Este’s number anymore. She was from Cleveland. I would check AAA for stuff. Oh, and the expo center has stuff going on all the time, and is a pretty nice facility. Pickle Bill’s used to have the very best rolls w/ honey butter, too, and buckets of crab legs (http://www.picklebills.com). We used to go with my parents to the boat show at the expo center and then eat at Pickle Bill’s on the way home. :)

There is a cool science museum-the name escapes me at the moment, but it is on Lake Erie and there are ships docked nearby to see also. There is a great Art museum too. If you head to Coventry area there is a huge 3 story slide and great playground.
