Let's Dare to Share!

It's Friday night, and you know what that means.. 

It is time to Dare to Share! 

Last week I shared that I did not know where we were going to go on out vacation the night before we were due to leave.  We finally did figure out at least what direction we were going the morning we were leaving.  We decided to go to NE Ohio.  Our first stop was Sugarcreek, Ohio. Sugarcreek is a cute little town, with the worlds largest cuckoo clock. It is in Amish country and considered the Little Switzerland of Ohio.  They are known for their cheese. The woman who took this picture of us worked for a nearby store and gave us a coupon for some free cheese. We were hungry for lunch, so we picked up our free cheese and some yummy salads at her store. D loves trains and bought us tickets to go on a nearby Roundhouse Steam Engine tour. He enjoyed the tour a bit more than me, but that's okay, because our next stop was right up my alley. 

Canton, Ohio was not too far away from where we were, and that happens to be the home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.  I love football, and the museum was so much fun.  They have a really cool experience were you see holograms of famous past players with a 3D effect like you are in a football locker room.  Joe Namath was the main narrator, and the entire thing was really inspiring.  When we finished up at the Pro Football Hall of Fame we decided to drive up to Conneaut, Ohio. It is small beach/lake town in the most far east corner of Ohio. We know someone who used to live there, and he recommended with visit it. We were surprised when we got that the population of the town was way bigger than normal.  They were having a war reenactment with thousands of visitors.  We then found out that between the reenactment and the Morgan Wallen concert at the Browns stadium in Cleveland, a hotel was very hard to come by in all of NE Ohio.

 We finally found a room in Warren about 30 minutes outside of Cleveland.  That next morning we decided to head into Cleveland and visit the Christmas Story house.  The house is in a small neighborhood. It had several buildings around it that included a BnB, museum, gift shop and small pub. The craziest thing about the tour is I was standing in line right beside a woman who was from my town where I lived at in Michigan, and her kids went to the school I used to teach at.  We were 4+ hours from our town in Michigan, so it was definitely a small world moment.   Once we were done with the tour,  we headed over the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. 

While I took a lot of photos at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, I am not going to post them.  There were several signs that said you were welcome to take pictures for personal use only.   I do not want to risk getting in trouble for posting photos on my blog.  I will say if you go and are a Bon Jovi fan, you need to go to the 6th floor to the Bon Jovi Forever exhibit.  That floor was amazing!  They so many cool exhibits with outfits, guitars, and other items from so many of our favorite bands and musicians.  They currently are having a SNL music exhibit with a really interesting and fun movie talking about back stories about many of the music acts that have been on the show. 

Our next stop was to drive over to Put In Bay to check it out.  It was getting late in the day, and it was too late to take a ferry to the island so we decided to go some place else instead. 

We have all park passes from Kings Island, so we were able to get into Cedar Point for free.  That night was their last special Boardwalk Night, and the last night they were open to 10 pm.  Our passes include food, so we picked up some dinner and enjoyed the party on the Boardwalk.  We went back on Monday, and spent a full day riding roller coasters and enjoying the park.  I actually even rode the new coaster Sirens Curse.  I was anxious standing in line, but it was so much fun! I would definitely ride it again.  You can see reels about our trip on both Instagram  and Tik Tok. 

This weekend I am working on Halloween DIYS so you should start seeing them on the blog soon!
