Some blogkeeping: Today’s the last day of the L’Amour du Vin giveaway. You can enter here until 11:59 tonight and I’ll announce the winner tomorrow. I have an addiction. To my cellphone. Whether it’s checking my email, refreshing news apps to see if there are new articles to read (regardless of whether or not the topic […]
When I think about Put-in-Bay, thoughts of summertime come to mind – balmy weather and a cool breeze coming off the mirror-smooth lake. However, this past weekend I was surprised to learn how Lake Erie’s islands are also the perfect Fall escape when we visited for Put-in-Bay’s Island Wine Festival. We drove out to Catawba early Saturday morning and hopped on the Miller Ferry. The […]
Update: If you want a second chance to win Date Night at the ZOOvies tickets, check out Poise in Parma today. She’s hosting a giveaway through Sunday, August 19. *** Did you know G4 plays back-to-back episodes of Quantum Leap at 3 in the morning? I didn’t, until today. I hate waking up before my alarm […]
Last Friday night, Cleveland descended on the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo for Twilight at the Zoo. The sold-out crowd enjoyed drinks, food from restaurants like AMP150, hanging out with the Zoo’s animals and rocking out to 18 bands. Best of all, the event – which was presented by Cleveland SCENE magazine and hosted by the Cleveland Zoological…
When Scott and I first moved to Cleveland, one of the first things these roller coaster fanatics did was get a season pass to Cedar Point. For 3 years we had a Platinum Pass. As long as you buy early enough (right after the previous season ends), you can usually get a…
When Scott and I attended the Cleveland Zoological Society’s ZippityZooDoo last month, we had so much fun we didn’t want to leave at the end of the evening. We even tried to hide among the meerkats: For obvious reasons (Scott’s too tall), our disguise didn’t work and we had to say our farewells to the elephants and flamingos and head […]
With all of the fireworks and Fourth of July parties this week, I thought the fun would start slowing down. After glancing at next weekend’s calendar, I realized how wrong I was – the month of July is just starting to heat up (and I’m not even talking about the temps)! Next weekend kicks off early with Grapes and […]
Cliches exist because there’s usually some element of truth to them. And earlier this week I proved that you never in fact forget how to ride a bicycle when I got back on one after years and years of not biking. I’m not exaggerating when I say I have almost no balance — check me out […]
When an opportunity comes along to visit the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo after the sun goes down, I’d be hardpressed to pass it up. After a holiday party there a few years ago, I knew I couldn’t miss their ZippityZooDoo when I first learned about it. Hosted by the Cleveland Zoological Society, the ZippityZooDoo is Cleveland’s longest-running benefit. For this…
For the three-day Memorial weekend, Scott and I decided to change things up a bit. Instead of traveling out of town like most of our previous weekends, we hosted Scott’s parents and grandmother. I love having out-of-town guests because it means I can put on my tourist shoes and explore places in Cleveland I may […]
