Rockin' in Cleveland

( This was June 3....leaving Amherst, WI )

Next Stop: Hwy 77 S to South Carolina.... or somewhere in the Appalachian Mts.

Greetings from the armpit of the U.S.
Yes, we've made it to Ohio and seen our fair share of sporting venues.
After leaving Indianapolis we scooted over to Columbus for an afternoon
of picking up Ohio State gear and checking out the stadium.

After the stadium we headed to the Park of Roses where over 35,000 roses were in bloom.
It was nothing short of spectacular. Who would have thought Ohio had such a place?~
We then decided to drive 3 more hours to our campsite in Streetsboro where we pitched the tent for 2 nights.

Needless to say they were very fun-filled nights with the a raccoon in the garbage, a cat on the picnic table and some wild animal that sounded like it was hunting for a baby rabbit. Gotta love the outdoors :) During the daytime we went swimming and hiking at the Cuyanoga National Park and came back to our homey little set up.

Which leads us to today, checked into the Crown Plaza in downtown Cleveland where nobody dwells the streets on the weekends. It's a ghost town after 5 pm on Fridays. Crazy.

Brady's dream came true at 7:05pm as we sat and watched the Cleveland Indians smoke the Washington Nationals at Progressive Field. We sat in the 4th row right behind 3rd base right next to the dugout. Killa' seats on a humid but fabulous Cleveland evening.

Tip 4 u: air mattresses are no good to sleep on, neither are yoga mats...any suggestions? Also, Walmart will not take back your used air mattress unless you utilize Brady's sweet talking methods :)

Next stops.... Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame and then South Carolina to check out the Angel Oak ....
a 1500+ Year old tree :) Oh yes !

Much peace.... a & b
