Summertime Activity List in the CLE

Last year we started the tradition of making a list of summertime activities that we would like to do as a family.   It's impossible to check ALL the items off our list, but we make one heck of an effort doing so.

In honor of the first day of summer, we hope to tackle these 20 activities in or around Cleveland:

1. Go to Edgewater Live sponsored by the Cleveland Metroparks.
2. Wade Oval Wednesdays in University Circle.
3. Hale Farm in Peninsula
4. Akron Zoo to see their amazing penguin exhibit.
5. Goodtime III.  It's a joke in our family that I've never been on this (cheesy, yes).
6. Catch an Indians game.
7. Attend a Browns practice at their Berea facility.
8. Ride the Towpath.
9. Have lunch at Szalay's Farm.  Best corn-on-the-cob!
10. Go to Put-in-Bay.
11. Go to a drive-in movie.
12. Attend the Summer Market in Avon Lake.
13. Get scoop of Honey Hut Ice Cream in honor of the Bean, who would take my husband there every summer.
14. Go to the Irish Festival.
15. Kayak in Lake Erie.
16. Go to Yoga at the Cleveland Museum of Art.
17. Attend one Cleveland Orchestra concert at Blossom.
18. Enjoy Summertime Treat Night - hotdogs, s'mores, roasted marshmallows).
19. Go to Cedar Point.
20. Attend at least one farmer's market or pick fresh fruit and vegetables at a farm.

If you haven't read this yet, stop what you're doing and read it immediately.  It's the Cleveland Bucket List by Scene Magazine. Greg and I enjoyed spending the morning marking off the activities either Greg, Megan or I have tackled here in Cleveland.  We hit 68 out of the 100.

So over the next few months, our family will be trying to check off the following:

1.  Take a tour of the Great Lakes Brewery. We couldn't believe that we haven't done this yet.

2.  Take a tour of Gotta Groove Records.  I didn't even know this existed!

3.  Karaoke at Tina's.  I've never heard of this place and I've never attempted Karaoke! I know, right?

4.  Visit the Cleveland Polka Hall of Fame.  Might also be a good excuse to eat at Sterli's afterwards or Sokolowskis.

5.  Bowl at an old-school alley.  Looks like we'll be checking out Mahall's very soon!

So what's your number? How many activities or places have you checked off the Cleveland Bucket List?
