Ohio/ Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Our vacation ended with a trip to Ohio and a scenic drive through wine country.  First stop was Cleveland.  We found the city to be clean, friendly and easy to get around.  Our hotel was within walking distance of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which was the first place we went to.   We LOVE rock and roll music.   After all, we grew up in the 70's.

The exhibits began with the history of r&r dating back to the early 1900's.  The hall is filled with instruments, sheet music, lyric sheets, clothing, vinyl albums, pictures, films, memorabilia of all types and of course music.  There are listening stations through out the hall.  One could easily spend the whole day there.  After 3 hours we were ready to leave, but not without a stop to the gift shop.  Do you remember the little round plastic piece that was fitted in the hole of a 45 record to play it on a stereo?  That item is featured on clothing, mugs, key chains and made into jewelry.  What is that little plastic thing called????

We finished the day with dinner at our hotel.  I had the Cleveland Chopped Salad without the bacon.  It was a regular green salad, but  with a lot of cold, diced red potatoes on top.

I was really hoping to run into Drew Carey while we were there, but that didn't happen.

On to Canton.
