My parents came up to visit this past weekend for a few days and see the sites that Cleveland has to offer. After an extremely stressful week, followed by a visit to the ER late on Friday night for my mother, we were all "healed" and ready to go on Saturday.
We began Saturday with a trip to the Westside Farmers Market to pick up some meat and fruit for the weekend and later ventured to see the Cleveland Orchestra in their outside location, Blossom. We watched the Joffrey Ballet and relaxed on the lawn with munchies and coffee to keep us warm in the unusual 58 degree weather!
On Sunday we ate at the famous restaurant, "The Melt", which has made it's appearance lately on the Travel and Food networks. Then we headed down to Derek's office to watch the Cleveland Air Show. I've definitely always loved airshows since I was young, but my father was like a kid in a candy store. The first shot below is probably one of my favorite of the weekend.
Sunday evening we enjoyed a full farmers market meal prepared on the grill followed by a drive down to Crocker Park, our favorite outside shopping area. The weather was perfect and it was a nice evening to sit outside nibbling on ice cream while doing some people watching.
Then on Monday, we made our way to Kelleys Island for some shopping, eating and sight-seeing. We rented a golf cart to get around the island so that we could see the various stops such as the Glacial Grooves, the beach and a local winery. (click the pictures below to make a bit larger)
Overall, we had a wonderful weekend and I miss my parents already! Thanks for everything mom and dad!!
Great weekend! Can't wait until we can visit again.
