Day 6: Cleveland Rocks!

 Day 6: Monday, June 16, 2025

Went to Cleveland, Ohio today and took in the sights.  We had one main goal and accepted a couple of side quests today.  We walked down to the water and admired Lake Erie.  Water always soothes and rejuvinates the soul. These pictures were taken at the end of the street on the "River Walk" in town.  



Danny's is from the back because he's dyslexic (his words, not mine.)


Next stop, the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame!


Cool story.  Carys is an avid Phineas and Ferb fan.  When we arrived here this morning, the theme song from the show by Bowling for Soup was playing.  How fitting that her "one hundred and four days of summer vacation" started out this way!  

The newest exhibit there is 50 Years of SNL.  The exhibit featured clothes worn both by musical guests as well as cast members.  Really neat to see some of the costuming and wardrobes used on the show. 






A piece worn by Gilda Radner.  





Devo jumpsuit (minus the flower pot hats). I remember watching this episode.  Pretty sure the plays "Whip It".




Will Ferrell bringing in the cow bell!



Adam Sandler as Opera Man.  Loved these sketches. 









"It's 106 miles to Chicago, we have a full tank of gas, half a packet of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses... HIT IT!"  

Of course, Jake and Elwood. 





There is also an exhibit where you can learn to play guitar, bass, keyboards, and drums.  Here she is giving three of the four a try.  She did pretty good, too!




She looks so natural here.  



She's learning to play a little guitar, but learned a few power chords today. 

Loving that she tried soemthing new and out of her comfort zone. 





There's so much to see here, but I will leave a few of her favorite bans and their stuff.


Green Day...








The Ramones










Bon Jovi..









When we got into the car leaving the museum. Bon Jovi was playing on the radio. As it would happen, their exhibit is the last one you see ... on the 6th floor.  Too cool. 

From here, we went to a pier and Wendy Park.  So nice to be near the water again.










One last side quest to round out the day.  "You'll shoot your eye out, kid." This is the exterior of the home used in filming A Christmas Story. We didn't tour the place because only the exterior was used during filming.  




Yes, the leg lamp is glowing in the window.







Tomorrow, we have one more museum to catch before saying "Good Bye" to Cleveland, Ohio!  It's on my list of places to come back to.
