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.

Champagne dreams, flapper dresses, and a night for Champagne dreams, flapper dresses, and a night for Broadway in Cleveland? Count me in! ✨🥂  Last night we stepped back into the Roaring Twenties for media night at @bwaygatsby at @playhousesquare!  My sister and I snagged our 1920s-inspired outfits and made a whole evening of it. We started with happy hour at @encorepsq, the stylish bar right across the street from Playhouse Square, which had the perfect swanky Gatsby vibes. I love their happy hours specials too! Then we grabbed a quick dinner at Sushi En before heading into the theater.  And wow... this show is BIG Broadway. Think stunning costumes, gorgeous sets, incredible choreography, and all the glitz and glamour you'd expect from Gatsby. The production is visually spectacular and brings the lavish world of Jay Gatsby to life in a way that feels larger than life. If you love classic stories, dazzling performances, and a little Jazz Age sparkle, add this one to your summer theater list. ✨🎭  The Great Gatsby is playing at Playhouse Square through June 28 as part of the KeyBank Broadway Series. Tickets are currently still available and can be purchased by calling 216-241-6000 or online at playhousesquare.org.  Who else loves a themed night out? 🍾  #thegreatgatsby #BroadwayCleveland #BWYCLE #BwayGatsbyTour
🎭 Did you know you can take a FREE behind-the-scen 🎭 Did you know you can take a FREE behind-the-scenes tour of @playhousesquare? 🎭 Everyone needs to add this to their Cleveland bucket list!  Free public tours of Playhouse Square are offered on the third Saturday of every month, and they're packed with fascinating history, hidden details, and stories you probably never knew. You'll learn how this incredible theater district went from nearly being demolished in the 1970s to becoming the largest theater restoration project in the world.  Did you know that Playhouse Square is the second-largest performing arts district in the United States, behind only Broadway in New York City, with 12 performance venues throughout the district?  One of my favorite parts was getting to see everything up close and in detail without the usual crowds. From the stunning architecture to the behind-the-scenes stories, there were so many things I've walked past for years without realizing their significance.  If you've ever attended a show, or even if you haven't, I highly recommend taking this tour. It's a whole new way to experience one of Cleveland's most iconic treasures. ❤️  Have you ever taken a Playhouse Square tour? Be sure to tell a friend! 🎟️👇  #PlayhouseSquare #ClevelandOhio #thisiscleveland #CLE #clevelandevents
Another Put-In-Bay giveaway coming soon! ☀️ Summe Another Put-In-Bay giveaway coming soon!  ☀️ Summer is officially here, and what better way to celebrate than a girls' day at Put-in-Bay! 🚢💙  We hopped aboard the @millerboatline for a scenic ride to the island and rented golf carts from @esputinbay to explore all the fun spots around the @visitputinbay island. Did you know you can save money when you book them together? Check out the E's Golf Cart & Miller Ferry Put-in-Bay Discount Package when you reserve at least one day in advance!  One of the reasons we love Miller Ferry is that it's the most affordable way to get to the island, and it's the only ferry that lets you bring your car. Plus, E's Golf Carts is conveniently located just around the corner from the Miller Ferry drop-off.  The weather was absolutely gorgeous! We spent the day shopping, cruising around the island by golf cart, enjoying lunch at The Keys, relaxing at the little beach on the tip of the island, and taking a short hike to soak in the views.  Put-in-Bay is such a fun destination for both groups and families. If you're bringing kids, be sure to check out the highly rated caves on the islands, play a round of putt-putt, visit the Lake Erie Islands Nature & Wildlife Center, and stop by the Butterfly House for a colorful, family-friendly experience. (I usually just avoid the downtown area on weekend evenings if I'm visiting with kids.)  Who's ready for an island day trip?  #putinbay #MillerFerry #GirlsTrip #OhioAdventures #LakeErieIslands
🦖 My niece, brother, and I had a ROARing good time 🦖 My niece, brother, and I had a ROARing good time at  @gocmnh on Sunday for DINO DAY! 🦕✨  A big thank you to @realgoodfoods for inviting us to this fun family event! We explored the museum, checked out life-sized dinosaurs, enjoyed hands-on activities, crafts, face painting, and interactive exhibits throughout the day. They even gave away COUPONS!!  Of course, one of the highlights was sampling Realgood Foods' dino chicken nuggets! I personally eat Realgood chicken - there is always a bag in my freezer. It is high protein and low carb! I eat a lot of chicken and I'm picky with my brands, but I enjoy this treat when I need something fast and tasty!  It was such a fun day filled with dinosaurs, learning, and making memories together. 🦖❤️
