Cleveland Rocks

It’s official, we’re on the road!

Today’s goal was to ease into the trip and make it to Perrysburg, OH just outside of Toledo…which we did, although it was a bit slow going due to the weather. As a result, we drove a good part of the day through some heavy rainstorms. 

In any case, we did make our way along to our first stop of the day at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

 

The Hall of Fame is located right on Lake Erie in downtown Cleveland. While we really enjoyed the location and the building architure here, we were kind of disappointed in the museum itself. While they had a lot of Rock-n-Roll artifacts, no photography was allowed in the museum and many items were no different than what you would find in the typical Hard Rock Cafe type place. So, we only hung out here for a little while, before taking a detour down to Medina, OH to visit Jeff’s best friend John (from high school) and his family for dinner. Medina, otherwise known to us as Pleasantville, is an idealistic small town center with seemingly unnaturrally friendly people. If you want to know what Medina feels like, watch The Truman Show. The place just seems to good to be true. Anyway, Thanks! John, Nancy, Marissa, Lindsay, Paul, and Sara for a nice dinner and evening…..we’ll catch you again on the way back home at the end of July.

Tomorrow we head to the Windy City of Chicago, IL.
