Cleveland

We took a road trip to Cleveland this past weekend to mark another ballpark off our list.  Jason had an opportunity to get free tickets to a game through his work, so it was a no brainer to make the Guardians our next team to mark off.  This is number 19 of 30 for us.   

We drove up on Saturday and enjoyed taking in the sights in the city.  We got up Sunday morning and did a little more exploring until game time.  

Bryce humored me for this picture and Emmy is a good sport about baseball games.

Jason likes to try signature dishes at ballparks.  Theirs was the slider dog.  Slider is their colorful mascot, hence the fruit loops on this hot dog also topped with pimento mac and cheese and bacon. 

Since it was an afternoon game, we had some time to do more exploring after the game.  This time we drove so we could get out of the city.  We made a stop by the famous house in A Christmas Story.

We did not tour the house but enjoyed walking around the gift shop and looking at all the themed merch.  

Cleveland sits on Lake Erie.  It was hard to get to the water from downtown, so we took a drive to a local park and then drove a little further for dinner on the water. 

It was a quick trip, but successful.  Next, we drive home for an hour pit stop and then go to the beach in North Carolina.
