The First Leg

So we were able to take the Turnpike almost the whole way to Cleveland. And, there were a few firsts along the way, including:

• Digital Speed Limit Signs - They must change the speed limit?
• Multiple Tunnels - I guess it was cheaper to blast a hole?
• "Remove Sunglasses" signs - for the tunnels
• Wind Turbines - they're huge!!!!
• GM car plant - also huge ...

Wooooh! How Exciting ... :-P

The Turnpike in Ohio was boring and everyone drives like they're 80. There was a point where the speed limit was 50 mph on the interstate! But, Cleveland is a cute, clean little city and surprisingly barren for a Saturday night ... with the exception of the biker round-up outside the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was better than we expected it to be. They have a lot of really interesting items and information on display. Some things to note:

• Janis Joplin's awesome Hippie Porsche
• A handwritten letter from Madonna when she was in College! (Sounded freakily familiar and relatable.)
• A whole floor dedicated to The Doors. Morrison is interesting.
• Massively large display from THE WALL with huge moving school teacher.
• The best guitar by our opinion - Led Zeppelin Bass
• John Lennon's Piano
• "Hey Jude" original score outline
• Lots of really cool original concert posters.
• Really weird MTV music video montage (hard to describe)

As a side note, our hotel is very clean and comfortable. One down, three more to go.
