Mom and dad scheduled a trip to Muncie in August at a time that neither Mike nor I could get off from work. As a result, they took the boys with them for the week. Translation: Mike and I got a week off! LOL
Before getting in the car and starting their road trip:
We decided to make the most of our time and booked an overnight in Cleveland. We did a little shopping, went to an Indians game, and then visited the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. It was a nice weekend and fun to have one-on-one time with each other.
Every trip to Cleveland requires a stop a Chick-Fil-A in Erie, PA. It was so good that Mike had a hard time putting his drink down. LOL
Our seats at the game were really good.
Indians’ Hall of Famer Rocky Colavito threw out the first pitch.
I got a helmet full of nachos for dinner and ate hardly any of it. That was about 10lbs of nachos. Not the best decision but the boys loved the helmet we brought home. LOL
The Indians game had a “Rock n Blast Spectacular” scheduled after it. It was fireworks-laser-light show coordinated to music and video on the scoreboard in honor of the Rolling Stones’ 50 year career. I’m not a huge Rolling Stones fan but this show was seriously impressive. The finale was INSANE. I think seeing this show alone made the trip to Cleveland worthwhile. The fireworks were better than the ball game by a long shot. LOL

Here are a couple of full length videos of the show that I found on Youtube. It was about 25 minutes long.
I got a quick snap of the sign on the outside of the stadium before heading to the car.
The next morning started bright and early. We were pretty tired since we didn’t get to our hotel and in bed until after 1am!
The hotel had goofed our room up on check in and gave us vouchers for a free breakfast in their restaurant. It was nice to have a good meal before heading to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
He thought wearing the nacho helmet was a good idea. I made him take it off before we got out of the car. LOL
The Hall of Fame is right in downtown Cleveland and next to Lake Erie.
Right next door is the Great Lakes Science Center and Cleveland Browns Stadium:
We were at the museum for a few hours then got in the car to head home. It was a nice little get-away!
