Cleveland rocks!











Last week, I got to go to Cleveland on my own. I'm definitely a fan of traveling alone--I don't think I'd ever really done it before. OK, it did help that I had a buddy for the second half of the week! :) But in the first half, I took myself to the Botanical Gardens and to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (most of my work took place at night). I picked the most gorgeous day to see the gardens. My one regret is that I didn't give myself enough time at the Hall of Fame--there is a lot to see there and I kept getting sucked in to the movies they show--it was like I was watching VH1 circa 2004, but better! I also took myself to see "You Don't Mess with the Zohan." In Ohio, I think I was the only one laughing at all the Jewish and Israeli stuff! Food worked out to be pretty good also--I found a vegan place called Web of Life. After I went there once, I kept going back--vegan chicken sandwich, vegan BBQ chicken pizza, vegan donuts! So yummy. I also found a veg-friendly place called Tommy's, which was in the Haight-Ashbury of Cleveland, as I call it. I had a tofu scramble there, which wasn't amazing, but I was happy to be able to go out to breakfast.
I'm off to DC/Annapolis now. Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend!
