I’ve actually never been to Cleveland. Visiting the botanical gardens would be at the top of my list. I love going to Bontanical gardens. I get to take away ideas for garden designs that I might could implement at home or plant pairings that I wouldn’t have thought that look good together.

I never went as far north as Cleveland when I worked. I stayed in Columbus mostly. I am sure it is nice there.

Probably, most people think of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland and don’t know about other places. This sounds like a good list.
