Daylin Byak comes to Cleveland, what to see?

[Daylin Byak]

Since I recently purchased a GPS navigation me and my mom have gone everywhere and I have decided that we should make a road trip to cleveland and that's what were doing. We are going away August 12 we will be visiting the rock and roll hall of fame and catching a Indians game. We will see them hopefully destroy the Kansas City Royals on Drew Carey bobblehead night, why there having a bobblehead dedicated to this man I have no idea, got good seats: row B on the mezzanine.

But obiously going to a museum and a tribe game won't take up all day so I am asking if there's anything else great to see in the city. I know there's a science center next to cleveland browns stadium but that's all.

Any suggestions?

1. Look for some fundraisers going on.....

Sherrod Brown, Dennis Kucinich and Ted Strickland fundraisers for example. The restaurant selections are dynamic!

2. The last film at the Great Lakes Science Center is ~3pm

Kind of early. I have never toured the museum. The USS Cod diesel submarine and the Mather 1920s steamship are there for the history nerd inside you.

The great museums are a hundred blocks east in University Circle. The art museum is undergoing huge renovations, so half the exhibits are on view. The Crawford Auto Museum has a huge collection of early 20th century automobiles. The history museum attached to it is pretty boffo. The Natural History Museum is pretty splendid. "Look a the bones!" I particularly like the Ohio section in the basement.

Someone let the air out of "The Flats", so it is no longer the entertainment district it used to be. All us twenty-somethings became forty-somethings. IOW, we grew up.

You can drive down to Peninsula, rent a bike from Century Cycles and ride the Ohio and Erie Towpath trail. The ride through Cuyahoga Valley national park is a natural wonder and a historical wonder with the 1830s-vintage stone locks still in place. The heron rookery at Ida Road is a hoot.
