Spring Break in Cleveland: Day 1, Part B
Cristen drove us through the city (we would return the next day to do some more walking around and touring of museums, etc.) on our way to the Coventry area. I just snapped some shots through windows as we drove by or stopped at the lights.
Cleveland has a lot of stadiums for their many sports teams. Here we have where the Browns and the Indians play. I also saw the Q (where the Cavs play), but I didn't take a picture).
And of course, the gigantic guitar sign for the Hard Rock Cafe.
We went through Little Italy on our way to Coventry Village. Cristen teased us with the promise of wedding cake by the slice, but unfortunately, we never turned that tease into a reality.
One of my favorite places we went to was a store called Big Fun. Like Flower Child, it was overflowing with toys from my childhood. Look at all these transformers!
And there were Star Wars toys, Rainbow Brite, Carebears, Smurfs, My Little Ponys, etc. etc. Even though it was a store and you can buy all of this stuff, it really felt like a museum. They also had all the fun penny toys and candy that you remember from your youth. Along with Elvis hair.
Cristen drove us around the Circle near Case Western. The campus is beautiful! We jumped out of the car to take just a few pictures.
On our way back to Cristen's, the sun was setting.
That night, we ate filling pierogi at a local restaurant and then met up with some of Cristen's awesome friends for drinks. It was, as you can tell, a very full and fun day.
