Tales from Cleveland

We traveled with my parents down to Cleveland last weekend. Good times, let me tell you. Road construction on the road that took us every where we needed to go, a blizzard, and did I mention road construction? All in all, it was a nice change of scenery. Cleveland looks like a blast, and we may be going back again in May. We didn't get to do much of anything, since the city experienced a blizzard, which made it necessary for us to get out of Dodge a day earlier than expected.


The highlight of our trip was supper at Tommy's in Coventry. Not only did they have yummy food. They had vegan food that was safe for Caden. Not only did they have vegan food that was safe for Caden, they also had rice milk. Not only did they have vegan food and rice milk for Caden, they also had rice cream (rice milk ice cream). Score one for the food allergy team! They also had good cleaning practices to reduce the risk of cross contamination. They cleaned off the beaters really good for us, and they have a separate beater for the soy/rice milk shakes from the dairy milk shakes. If Caden was anaphylactic or even severely allergic to soy, I probably wouldn't have chanced it. He did great though and loved it. He kept smacking his lips and saying "Mine, mine, yummmmm." Needless to say, we'll be making a visit to Tommy's when we travel to Cleveland again.
