Day 7 - Cleveland

As I said yesterday, there is only a few things Cleveland has going for it: Canton, the Rock Hall of Fame and the ballpark. We did find a fourth; a shuttle bus driver by the name of Jan. She took us to the Rock Hall today, and she was a treat. She thought Greg was awesome. I think she just had a lot of energy and liked people. She was very impressed that Greg knew that the Atlanta Braves beat the Cleveland Indians in the 1995 World Series. She was originally from Atlanta but works in Cleveland. Both boys met up with her again tonight for photos, and they have all promised to become Facebook friends.

The Rock hall was fantastic. Pam and I both spent five hours there, and we could have spent more. Even the boys spent three hours there each, and enjoyed themselves. The ball game was a blow out unfortunately, as the home team lost 10-2. Nice Park for a sixteen year old one, and we changed seats after four innings and had really good seats. The highlight of the night was the post-game fireworks show. Set to the music of The Beatles, the boys thought it was either the best or second best firework show they had EVER seen. Even someone like me, who is pretty jaded when it comes to fireworks, was pretty impressed. And since we were a 5-minute walk to the hotel, the evening was just about perfect.
