Dublin Really is the Best Place to Celebrate St. Patrick's Day

This conversation has been sponsored by the Dublin Visitor and Convention Bureau. Opinions are my own.

When I told my oldest that we were invited to Dublin for St. Patrick's Day weekend by the Dublin Visitor and Convention Bureau he was beside himself. After I explained we were going to Dublin, Ohio he said with confusion, "There's a Dublin in Ohio?"

There are actually nine cities named Dublin in the U.S. and if you count townships, the number is eleven. Dublin, Ohio, rated one of the top 10 places to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, is where we would be celebrating the weekend before St. Patrick's feast day. The city of Dublin really lived up to the slogan, "Irish is an attitude."

6 Things That Won't Happen at a Lake Erie Crushers' Baseball Game

This is not a sponsored post. Tickets were purchased for both games.

You know how you want to go out with friends but are doubtful of the venue they pick but it doesn't matter because you know a good time would be had regardless simply because of the people going?  Except, the only relative that you trust to stay with the kids (so you can drink responsibility) can't babysit so you have to cancel and you think - maybe it is for the best?

And than, in an unexpected turn of events, the relative who usually watches the kids can babysit and you get to go!  You still question how fun the night will actually be and it turns out to be one of the best nights out you and your significant other has had in ages.  Ages!

Who knew date night would be such a roller coaster?  

Its not just date night but any time we want to go out for some good, wholesome fun we end up spending a small fortune.  Don't get me wrong, its usually money well spent but getting nickled and dimed at every turn tends to make you want to stay home.  

Staying home would just be silly and after joining friends for that Saturday night game we decided to all return with the kids.  My oldest has been to at least one Indian's game every summer for the last five years but this year I was just not seeing how we would go to a game.  Once the kids found out where we were going Saturday night and seeing their disappointment we knew it would be a must.  Once we found out that Monday was a markdown night the plan was set - lawn seats $1, home box tickets $3, and filed box tickets $5!  (psst...  the dates are on my Bucket List calendar)

Of course price is not the only reason to go!  

Six things you won't find at a Lake Erie Crushers baseball game:

Northeast Ohio Bucket List for March 7 - 17, 2014

All events are added at my own discretion. I received complimentary tickets to the  Cleveland Home + Remodeling Expo and the kids and I will be attending Disney Live!, Piston Power Show and I-X Center Amusement Park as their guests. 
Opinions are my own. If you would like to be added to this list or to become a sponsor feel free to contact me.

Seems like Cleveland is finally waking up from the deep freeze!  I keep saying this but I keep hoping that it will just stop snowing!  I promise to spend nearly every weekend at the beach or pool in the hopes of warming up after this winter.

Our calendar is at the end with all of what we would like to do in March if we had unlimited time and money.  Some are free most not but be sure to call all events prior to attending - I won't be held accountable for changes because I am at their mercy as much as you.

If you like this post, please share and if you go to any I'd love to hear about it either here, on Facebook, twitter or g+.  Don't forget to check out the giveaways at the end!

March is looking good folks!  I decided to break up my monthly post into a weekly post since there is so much going on.  Plus, I may have gotten a late start...

There is a whole lot on the calendar at the end but here are the top items on our bucket list.  Mind you, everything on our list is what we want to do and not what we will do but we do try.  Be sure to call all events prior to attending - I won't be held accountable for changes because I am at their mercy as much as you.
