Incredible Weekend Vacation in Cuyahoga Valley

It's amazing how much fun and activity can be packed into a three day vacation! And equally amazing is the beauty and attractions found in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.

We left home before 4:00 AM on Friday, September 28th and drove to Cleveland, Ohio where we spent several hours in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. At $20 per person for adults, I didn't think it would be worth it but I conceded later that I believe we got fair value for the money. Chuck really enjoyed it a great deal and that was worth $40 to me regardless.

Cameras are not allowed inside the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame so we left ours in the car. A few images can be seen at Wikipedia. The building is a unique mostly glass structure in a pyramid shape. Once inside there are cars hanging from the ceiling beams and a cacophony of noise as decades of music intertwine from hundreds of speakers throughout the building.

We checked into the Holiday Inn in Independence, Ohio just about a mile and a half from Rockside Station. The link shows what our room was like. The mattress was very thick and comfortable.

More about our weekend adventure will be posted tomorrow with images. It will be at least another week before I have time to edit and upload videos to YouTube.
