It was a beautiful weekend in Cleveland. Sunny skies (most of the time), warm but not too warm weather, AND my dad even came to visit – that’s right my dad (and mom) drove 16 hours to see me for Father’s Day weekend!
Some of the weekend’s highlights:

Me and my dad – check out his new shirt! (Father’s Day gift)
We started with a sushi dinner.
Followed by some delicious dessert (my dad and I shared that ice cream) at The Chocolate Bar.
Saturday we took a walk and checked out the new Cleveland Convention Center.

My dad got to try out the Indian’s pitching booth. He hasn’t lost his touch – he got three strikes! (Check out the video here:https://vine.co/v/hBm6Ql5OdBn)
Then we went to the Rolling Stones exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Yes, you can now take photos at the Rock Hall!

Allman Brothers – appropriate Father’s Day post (I was named after my dad’s fave song – Sweet Melissa)
And after an early dinner of burgers and beer (my dad’s request), saw the Indians game.

Yes, I got these New Yorkers to wear Cleveland shirts!

After the rain! (I believe after this was taken, my mom said “Are you going to put this picture on your blog?”)
They may have lost, but we caught “one of the best fireworks shows” according to my mom.
And then Sunday morning before they got back on the road, FaceTimed with my brother. Then I got in a great workout and enjoyed some Chipotle for lunch.

Barbacoa bol B and I shared
And then I cooked B (NOT a dad, just to clarify) some oven fried chicken, mashed white beans and collard greens (from our CSA).

Found a use for our CSA (Fresh Fork) collard greens!
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!
