Cleveland Rocks

For Labor Day this year, we took the kids on a looooooong road trip up to Michigan but we made a few stops along the way and on the way back.  One of our stops was in Cleveland.  First, we saw the house from "A Christmas Story".  The house offers tours but both kids were sleeping and I just really wanted to see the outside of the house...

and the LEG LAMP!

Afterwards, we moved on to downtown Cleveland:

We stopped for a couple of hours at the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame:

The kids look at this "little TV" at an exhibit about the origins of Rock:

A special section about Pink Floyd:

There were plenty of stations to stop and sample music - Sean found he really likes Michael Jackson' "Thriller"...

And Clare found a new favorite, too:

 Cars from the U2 Zoo TV Tour:

Walking back to the car, Clare and Sean started holding hands while watching a stunt plane practice over Lake Erie...
