We were pleasantly surprised to see the abundance of wind turbines
in each state as we drove eastward. |
Our mission: make it back to the Jersey Shore by Friday, 8/26, so we would have the weekend to regroup - Mark is eager to swim + surf and for me, the fall semester begins 9/6. After leaving South Dakota, Mark was a driving machine and we made it through Minnesota, Wisconsin (we stopped in Madison - a cool college town/city), Illinois, Iowa and Ohio in record time.
I have wanted to visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum, in Cleveland for over a decade, so we stopped for the day and what a day we had! Mark and I are avid museum goers - natural history, contemporary art, fine art, railway, science, hall of fame...you name it, we have probably visited it.

| Peace : ) |

| $22.00/each and so worth it. |
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was by far one of the most memorable museum experiences we have ever had (we spent over three hours on the first floor!). We highly recommend a visit - it's packed with rock star memorabilia and high tech audio/visual exhibits. Highlights included: Elvis, The Beatles, Women in Rock, the Inductees film, and One Hit Wonders.

| Elvis bought this Lincoln for his bodyguard and on another day bought 13 Cadillacs and gave them away to family and friends. |

| The red carpet for the Inductees... |

| Love, love, love Gwen Stefani. FYI...Moby has a great vegan restaurant in downtown NYC called TeaNY. Super yummy and you may see him there - I have a few times. |

It wasn't until we were leaving Cleveland that we realized the potential harm Hurricane Irene was bringing our way. Living on a barrier island, we decided to forgo our plans to go home and instead headed towards Hershey, Pennsylvania. Yes, that's correct...my husband and I have decided to stay safe in the land of chocolate, nuts, and nougat.
More to come...ciao' for now : )
PS: To our fellow east coasters, be smart + be safe.
