New blog, new adventures!

My last blog- Frugally Living- was all about my 20ths and 30ths and trying to live on a budget and enjoy Cleveland and great local food.  Now that I have been married for almost 3 years I wanted to start writing a blog about our adventures in Cleveland together!  So I will not just write about food but experiences in Cleveland as well!  This blog is also not going to always be frugal.  I have come to love Cleveland as my hometown.  There is so much to do and I hate hearing people bad mouth the city and Northeast Ohio in general.  There are so many fabulous things and I hope through our adventures I can spread those awesome things with others!

So a bit of the basics...I am Alicia, I am in my forties, and I love food!  I am a human resource director for a great non-profit health organization and I love my job and the people I work with every day.  I am also an attorney, but hated practicing law so here I am in my career!  In October of 2015 I married an amazing man- Ronnie!  He keeps me on my toes and I love every minute we spend together.  There are many things e have in common- we both love food, roller coasters, bowling, putt putt, and spending time in our backyard with our neighbors and friends.  We also both love being by the lake or on the water.  We do not have children so we have plenty of free time to do the many great things Cleveland has to offer.  We are also not big in to presents for each other but love buying experiences.  Let's be honest, most couples really do not need anything, but being able to experience something new together is worthwhile.  I hope our adventures will be interesting to all and help others find some of the great things going on in Cleveland and around! 

I do want to put in a disclaimer- all recommendations or opinions are just that...my opinion!  I try to be objective but sometime I just may not like something.  I will always try to write though in a way that those reading can decide if it is for them or not!  I also hope this creates a dialogue of great things happening and ideas of places to go. 

I hope others enjoy!  This is my creative outlet in life...writing about experiences!

Bologna Day3- day trip to Modena

 We started off the day sort of late.  Decided to do a day trip to Modena, round trip was under 17 euros total for us both.  We walked to the train station which is literally like 5 minutes from our hotel grabbed a cappuccino water and apricot filled croissant and off we went.  We arrive in Modena less than a half hour later.   look at the pretty streets of Modena Another day another piazza! But we were in Modena and I was in search of balsamic...a tasting a something.  The first store I went in to had very, very high end balsamic you could do a tasting for a price and the cheapest bottle started at 60 Euro.  This was not our balsamic market.  This was a little above where we wanted to buy and we have tasted the really expensive stuff before.  But then we found a reasonable store.  Giuseppe Giusti offers free tastings of their balsamic at all different levels and their vermouth.  It was all fantastic.  We decided on some i...

YY Time with Y-town Friends

This new place is Asian town was a fantastic experience with some wonderful friends.  Ronnie and I got a call dear old friends John, Dave and Dana- from Youngstown and now living in Cleveland- to meet for lunch at a new place called YY Time.  This restaurant is a cool new concept in Asia Town.  You sit and order through a QR code.  Each seat has its own code.  They have street food, skewers, Asian soups, bubble teas and milks so many great choices.  We each ordered an then shared as we love to do.  I cannot wait to return!  Here are the great items we tried that day.   Salty crispy chicken and a fruit bubble tea Rice Noodle soup with braised brisket and one of the specialty crossing the bridge soups.  The noodle soup was amazing.  The flavor of all the broths were just amazing.  My husband and I split ours and It is definitely big enough to split.  And then we all tried a little bit of each others to just have a taste...

GIrls Trip- Alaska

I know know, this blog is all about the fun stuff I do with my husband, but this one blog post is going to be about an adventure I had with the one person I have known the longest in my life- my sister! The trip started with Angela texting one day asking if I wanted to see the Aurora Borealis....I thought sure why not.  And then we booked a trip and here we are. As we were planning I remembered an old friend from my semester at American lives in Fairbanks so I reached out to him for suggestions.  He offered some great ideas on places to go, things to do, and places to eat. Sadly we will not be able to see him and his wife, because they leave for vacation right after we got in town.   So the adventure for me started with a 7:50 text that my flight changed and a rerouting.  I left Cleveland at 1:40 pm and met up with my sister in Seattle at around 7 pacific time for a quick dinner before we parted ways for our flights to Fairbanks (different airlines).  ...
