The flight to Cleveland was pretty much cake, and I am proud to say that I’m finally really walking my talk with the carry – on situation!  I’d bought this cool leather messenger bag from FOSSIL for Lee not too long ago, he is a backpack man and NEVER uses it, so I decided to MAKE IT HAPPEN and happen it did!

I was able to fit my laptop, a few magazines and my wallet all with ease and grace! Bella is now big enough to pull her own bag – she has a great backpack with wheels that is actually big enough to fit her stuff as well as Lola’s and not too big for her to navigate the narrow plane aisle.

Of course Lola wants to bring her own Dora bag, but I put my gladiator sandal down – she is still to little to drag it and gets tired of it quickly, leaving MEE to tote it!  Since I’m all about clearing security with as much smoothness as possible, Dora stays home!

I don’t always tote my traveling stroller, in fact this trip I brought my light weight McClaren Umbrella Stroller, I knew we’d be doing some touristy stuff and the large basket underneath is a huge perk not to mention that my 6 year old still can fit when a needed break commands!  It’s so easy to lift and steer that even if they aren’t riding I can use it as a trolley for our carry-ons.

As you know, this is my deal, this is my site, and this is my stuff…i only PROMOTE what I ROCK!!! (click on the images below for more info on these fabulous products…)

A trip to Northern Ohio in the summer time wouldn’t be complete without a day at CEDAR POINT!

Cedar Point sits right along Lake Erie, and of course I’d forgotten how lovely it is there..

I’ve been going to Cedar Point since I was 6 years old, they have the BEST kiddie parks – 2 areas! The roller coasters are hands down the “BANGINEST” (yea it’s a total made up slang word) of ANY where I have ever been.  It’s not super expensive either, we went at 5pm because the price drops with the hot sun $29.99 kids under 3 are FREE! Another reason for hitting the park in the early evening is that MOST little kids are done and home and the rides are wait free! Two year olds are NOT DOWN with waiting.

Since the park closes at 10pm weeknights and 12 am weekends 5 hours is plenty of time for the little people!

The only time I was TOTALLY tempted to break my strict diet was when my sister bought the Cedar Point Classic French Fries w/ Vinegar..OK and the ELEPHANT EARS!!!!! YIKES!

Don’t worry if you don’t have family to stay with like us,  they have some really great family style resorts.  Check this place out – http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/park/resorts/hotels/index.cfm
