2010/8/1~8/2 Cleveland Trip

It's the Civid Holiday long weekend and we were bored, so decided to head to US (because it's not a long weekend in US). Because we have been to cities within "short" driving range (Pittsburgh, Erie, Buffalo, etc...), Cleveland ended up winning and here is the 2 days 1 night trip summary.

Day 1 Sunday Aug 1

• Left home at 6, crossed US custom (we stopped as Wendy needed to get I-94)
• Drove to Erie Walmart, shopped a bit
• Drove to Cleveland Museum of Art (free entrance)
• Lunch at Tower City
• Walked around Tower City without much shopping
• Checked in at the Crowne Plaza hotel (won at $45 USD/night on Priceline) + $18 parking
• Dinner at Cheesecake Factory 
• Walked around the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (didn't go in as we weren't R&R fans)
• Back to Hotel

Day 2 Monday Aug 2

• Visited the Great Lakes Science Center (really for kids)
• Lunch at The Old Arcade
• Left Cleveland
• Visited the Millcreek Mall at Erie for some shopping again (bought A&F clothing without tax)
• Drove to Buffalo
• Dinner at Cheesecake Factory again (the Buffalo Walden Galleria location)
• Back home

Expenses

• For 4 of us, $407 USD on the US VISA - gas, clothing, meals, tickets, etc...
• Hotel is $70 CAD

Notes

• Cleveland is a nice pretty town to walk around
• Shopping sucks
• Attractions sucks too
• Conclusion - come here if you are bored, but visit Pittsburgh first if you can :-)
