Our Visit to Day Out With Thomas (Peninsula, Ohio)

Day Out with Thomas:  The Go Go Thomas Tour 2013 in Peninsula, Ohio

This past weekend we spent the day with Thomas the Train during the Day Out with Thomas:  The Go Go Thomas Tour 2013 in Peninsula, Ohio.  Since this was the first time that we attended, I didn’t know what to expect but man, did we have a blast!

Our littlest, Jackson, was so excited to ride on the real Thomas train that he’s been talking about it for weeks.  I found the approximate 30 minute train ride was the perfect length of time for my kiddos while still allowing time for sightseeing, ticket stamping and picture taking.

1
Once the train ride was over there was still so much to see!  We headed to the model train area to see the huge table set up with many trains.  My boys were mesmerized to see these trains up so close.  Right outside this covered area we were able to meet  Sir Topham Hatt™, the Controller of the Railway.  It was so fun to see one of our favorite characters come to life.

While my two youngest were enjoying the bounce houses over and over again, my oldest son and husband were able to sit under covered tent and enjoy a magic show from Marty the Magician and dance along to music by Zobapago.

1

Before leaving we were able to grab some temporary tattoos, play with train tables, hear a Thomas the Train story and much more.  In fact there was so much to do that we weren’t able to fit it all in before nap time.  To help you manage your time, you are encouraged to arrive at least an hour before you train ride.

Since Day Out with Thomas:  The Go Go Thomas Tour 2013 in Peninsula, Ohio will still be in town next weekend, you’ll want to grab your tickets NOW!

Cedar Point Season Passes – Frugal Fun All Season Long!

May 15, 2013 by racheljk 5 Comments

On Saturday, May 11th, our family headed out to Opening Day at Cedar Point!  It was a chilly day but that didn’t damper our spirits at all.  After a long cold winter we were ready to start our summer early at Cedar Point!  We were beyond excited to be there!!

If you would like to visit, be sure to enter to WIN a 4-pack of tickets to Cedar Point! (giveaway over)

We are lucky to live within 30 minutes of Cedar Point and so we grab season passes every year.  If you are local to this area, I think Cedar Point passes are an awesome deal.  Here’s why.

When you get a regular Cedar Point pass you’ll get unlimited visits to Cedar Point from May 11th all the way to October 27th.  Since Cedar Point has over 150 rides, shows and attractions there is a little something for everyone.   Once you’ve made only three trips to Cedar Point, your pass is paid for.

1

Your season pass even include admission to the ever popular HalloWeekends that start in September.  During HallowWeekends, Cedar Point transforms into family-friendly spooky entertainment by day and a little scarier at night.  Don’t worry, even if you have young kids you can still visit at night.

Cedar Point makes getting a season pass affordable for ALL!

Through May 27th you can get your 2013 Regular Season Pass for as low as six easy payments of only $18.50.  With the payment plan, Cedar Point is making it accessible for all!

1

If you are looking for an even BETTER savings you may want to look into the Cedar Point Platinum Season Pass.  These are the type of passes my family gets each year because of all the awesome perks.  With a Platinum Pass you’ll be able to get:

FREE Parking– Parking at Cedar Point will cost you $15 a pop each time you visit UNLESS you have the Platinum Pass.  You know how I love FREE, so this perk is fabulous!

Early Entry – Enter the park 1-hour before the general public.  This special access will give you a head start on your day and even give your early entry to the rides, GateKeeper, WindSeeker, Millennium Force, Raptor, Maverick, Iron Dragon, Ocean Motion, Midway Carousel and Planet Snoopy.

Exclusive Ride Nights– Several times during the season,Platinum Passholders are invited stay after closing to enjoy exclusive rides on some of their most popular coasters

Fabulous Discounts– We all love coupons and with a Platinum Pass you’ll score some great money-saving offers on food, merchandise, games and resort stays.  To find the perks, Click Here and then click “2013 Platinum Pass Perks”.  Here are only a few:

  • VIP Show seating at some shows
  • Hotel deals
  • BOGO FREE $2 Games
  • BOGO FREE rides on Skyscraper, Challenge Racing, Challenge Golf

Admission to Cedar Point, Soak City & all Cedar Fair Parks– With a Platinum Pass not only will you get unlimited admission to Cedar Point and Soak City, but you’ll also snag FREE admission to any other Cedar Fair park!  This will save you a ton of money if you plan a family vacation!  Simply head to any of the Cedar Fair parks and your entertainment will be FREE!

A Cedar Point Platinum Pass is only a little more but is completely worth the extra money.  Now through May 27th you can get a Platinum Pass for as low as 6 payments of $29.99.  With all that’s included above, I think it’s a steal of a deal!

So have fun all the way into the fall and grab a Cedar Point Season Pass!  I hope to see you at the Cedar Point!

 

Disclaimer:  This is not a paid post.  All opinions are my own.  Cedar Point offered me free Opening Day tickets to share about my experiences.

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.

🎺✨ 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
