This post is in collaboration with Legacy Village, located in Lyndhurst, Ohio.
I remember the very week that Legacy Village in Lyndhurst, Ohio officially opened. I lived only a few miles down the road, and was a bright-eyed bushy tailed high school student who had all of her babysitting money in her pocket ready to shop! I remember the excitement of pulling into the center in my Mazda and feeling like I just entered a different world. A shopping and dining center that is laid out so beautifully. Truly, a get-a-way in the middle of a suburb! Still, nearly 20 years later – Legacy Village still holds the very same magical feeling! It emcompasses an entire experience, and offers its guests endless options to enjoy with every visit.
What better way to spend a snow day than to take the kids on an adventure in Legacy Village? Inches of snow had fallen the night before, and we surprised the kids with a day spent at Legacy Village! We were on a mission for new snow boots, and figured we’d stop for treats and a lunch date – ending with a sunset sledding session back at home! It was such an incredible day spent with the boys – just take a look!
First stop was Dicks – Dick’s Sporting Goods for my kiddos is heaven on earth. Max immediately gravitated to the snow-toys that were right in the entry way, and then the boys eyes expanded twice their size when they saw the escalator. “A TWO STORY SPORTS STORE!?” – my boys
Picking out snow boots was a total cinch at Legacy Village. We knew right off the bat we had a handful of retailers that we could visit to find just the right boots for the kiddos, we just didn’t know that Dick’s would end up being a one-stop-shop for them! It was perfect! They each found their size, and ran through the aisles to give them a good test run – it was adorable if I do say so myself.
Sweet tooth!
Owen had one store in mind he really wanted to check out – Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. From the candied apples, truffles and chocolate covered treats, these kiddos were drooling!
The staff at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory were incredibly kind and patient with our three indecisive boys! We left with two decadent candied apples, and chocolate covered pretzels – with plans to enjoy later during a family movie night!
Think we said no to this face?? Sure didn’t! Max received a gummy stick that even Willy Wonka would be envious of!
Coffee break!
An errand is never complete with a pit-stop to Starbucks, and we’ve officially reached the stage where the boys have their exact drink order request (yikes!)
You know this girl loves an esthetic. One of my favorite things about Legacy Village is its charm. The brick pavers, the black lamp posts, the contrasting brick and stone buildings. It’s a total gem!
Lunch break!
The California Pizza Kitchen was the perfect lunch spot to enjoy as a family! Their lunch options are fantastic, I enjoyed a salad and sandwich, Dan had a soup and sandwich and the boys tackled the kids menu like the bosses that they are! P.S. Right now they are offering a ANY pizza on their menu To-GO to take home and bake yourself for $5 when you order an entree. What an insane deal!!
After their bellies were full, it was time to hit the road and head back home to go sledding while the sun set! An entire day spent at Legacy Village with the boys, and they have already requested another visit to check out more stores and restaurants! Such a special day, full of smiles and memories to last a lifetime!
Sunset sledding time!
