Day Out with Thomas at Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad – Tickets Still Available

May 22, 2014 by racheljk Leave a Comment

Day Out With Thomas Cleveland

**Want more deals?  Find me on Facebook and Twitter!***

Last weekend my family headed out to  Day Out with Thomas™: The Thrill of the Ride Tour 2014 at The Cuyahoga Valley Railroad in Peninsula, Ohio. Our family visited Day Out With Thomas last year so we knew we were in for a real treat.

My three year old Jackson is enamored with all things train related, especially Thomas the Train so he was beyond excited for the day to finally arrive.  Or course he had to wear his Thomas the Train hat and shirt for this special occasion.

Our Train ride was scheduled for 1:30 and since we arrived an hour early (as the ticket suggests) we were able to enjoy some of the festivities before our train took off.  My oldest son, Noah remembered the magic show from last year and wanted to head straight to that tent while my other boys were most interested in the three jump houses.

On top of memorable train ride with Thomas, Day Out with Thomas offers an area where kids can play with train tables, color pictures, get temporary tattoos, hear a story, and grab a snack.   There is even live kids music and a HUGE electric train table complete with a Thomas the Train car.  Don’t forget your camera as there are so may picture taking opportunities throughout the day.

When it was our turn to hop on the train, by boys were brimming with excitement.  They loved getting their tickets punched by train worker and receiving their train certificates on board.  With the about 30 minute train ride, you have more than enough time to enjoy the scenery, listen to Thomas music and spend time chatting about your favorite Thomas characters.

Oh my goodness, my sister and I had an absolute bl Oh my goodness, my sister and I had an absolute blast last night at @playhousesquare! 🎭  The @choirofmanusatour is here through Sunday, March 8th, and you do not want to miss it. Get there early because before the show even starts, you can actually go on stage, interact with the cast, grab a beer at the pub-style counter, and maybe even dance a jig or two. How fun is that?!  Once the performance begins, get ready — this toe-tapping, high-energy production will have you moving in your seat from the very first number. You’ll recognize a lot of the songs, and you might even discover a new favorite. I absolutely loved the traditional folk song!  And fair warning… this show is very interactive! Audience members can get pulled on stage — like my sister, who was serenaded by one of the cast members! Such a fun and unforgettable moment.  If you’re looking for a fantastic night out, this is it. Great seats are still available — go grab yours! 🎶🍻  #choirofman #choirofmanUSAtour #broadwaycleveland #clevelandmom
Closet clean-out! ✨ I’ve officially lost 55 lbs, s Closet clean-out! ✨ I’ve officially lost 55 lbs, so I spent the weekend saying goodbye to clothes that no longer fit and hello to extra space 🙌  It’s actually the perfect time to donate because every donation at @voathrift in February earns 2X the points.

This sale happens every last Tuesday, so mark your calendar!

🎺✨ Oh what a night! I caught the brand-new nationa 🎺✨ Oh what a night! I caught the brand-new national touring revival of Meredith Willson’s classic @musicmantour last night in Akron at E.J. Thomas Hall for the @broadwayakron series and I’m still smiling!  This crowd-pleasing, six-time Tony-winning musical follows slick charmer Harold Hill, a fast-talking salesman who rolls into town planning to swindle the locals with promises of a boys’ band he can’t actually deliver. But his perfectly polished con hits a snag when he meets Marian Paroo, the sharp-witted librarian whose sincerity and heart just might turn this lovable rogue into someone real.  The whole cast brought it last night from the high energy dance numbers to the tender ballads. The stars @elizabethdaiuto and @craigfirst were phenomenal delivering powerhouse vocals magnetic chemistry and performances that lit up the stage from start to finish.  The energy, the costumes, the choreography, the music - pure Broadway magic on tour! If you love big classic musical numbers, charming comedy, and feel-good storytelling, don’t miss it.  🎟 One more performance TONIGHT (Feb 19)! Great for the whole family!  #BroadwayAkron #musicmantour #akronohio

Last night at @playhousequare, I experienced somet Last night at @playhousequare, I experienced something unforgettable. ✨  Seeing @suffsmusical live was deeply moving, soul-stirring, and powerful in a way that stays with you long after the curtain falls. I cried several times. Not quiet tears, but the kind that come from feeling seen, shaken, and inspired all at once.  This Tony-winning musical tells the true story of the women’s suffrage movement in the United States, over a century old, yet aching with relevance today. It captures the courage, the conflict, and the cost of fighting for a voice. These women marched on Washington, protested outside the White House, endured hunger strikes, and risked everything for a future they might never personally benefit from. And watching it unfold through a brilliant, all-female cast makes the story hit even harder - raw, urgent, and electric.  What struck me most is how alive this story feels. This isn’t history trapped in the past—it’s a reminder that progress is loud, uncomfortable, and often born from persistence when hope feels thin. Suffs doesn’t whisper its message; it sings it boldly: change only happens because people refuse to give up. It left me inspired, emotional, and reminded that voices, especially women’s voices, have always mattered, even when the world tried to silence them.  This is a must-see!  Suffs is at Connor Palace through Sunday, February 22nd, and tickets are still available. Trust me, go see it. Bring tissues. Bring friends. Leave changed. ❤️  #hosted #BroadwayCleveland #SUFFStheMusical #SUFFSTour
