• Spot in the Cleveland Metroparks: The Chippewa Creek trail in the Brecksville Reservation. I love the beach and shoreline made of all those beautiful rocks and pebbles.
• Zoo attractions: The elephants always show great personality. I love seeing them play with their tree branch sticks and each other. I look forward to seeing them return to their new home in 2011.
• Ride at Cedar Point: I liked the Magnum. It’s high enough and fast enough to cause a thrill, but not as giant and scary as some of the other larger coasters that make me overdramatically panic.
• Summer read: Anything in the Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella. They’re all lighthearted and fun to read and not a huge commitment.
• Annual summer event: The Tremont Arts and Cultural Festival is my favorite. I love seeing the art and jewelry created by local designers and artists. Plus, there’s tons of ethnically diverse food to munch on — yummy!
• Place you’ll find me this summer: Boating at Portage Lakes, the West Side Market, Crocker Park and biking in the Metroparks.
