We ended up spending quite a lot of time at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame & Museum, and probably could have spent even more time, if we didn’t have a kinda-sorta-schedule to keep. The best way I can describe the Rock Hall is that it’s (with apologies to Penny Arcade) porn for music and entertainment geeks. I was in something of a sensory overload from all of the exhibits, including performance outfits, instruments and equipment from damn near every influential figure in Rock, Country, Blues…well, you get the idea. (Today’s factoid: Les Paul, innovator, if not inventor of the solid-body guitar and New Jersey native, is also responsible for many other innovations in music recording and production, including close micing of instruments.) After a late lunch and a quick internet fix, we left greater Cleveland area – but not before a pit-stop at the BA Sweetie Candy Company, a literal candy warehouse with every variety of candy commercially available in the United States. EVERYTHING. I didn’t think it was possible, but there it was. (Self-control nearly became an issue.) I figured, while we were there, I made a special request – sorry, Bry, no Crunchie Bars. I tried.<\/p>\n
As for now, after a 4 hour drive, we’re in West Virginia. I’m not sure there’s a whole lot more to say than that. Driving through West Virginia is a lot like driving through Delaware, except there aren’t crazy DuPont family members running around the place. It’s very clean, and polite, and…kinda boring. I suppose if Darren and I were more ‘outdoorsy’ and enjoyed rafting or rockclimbing, we might find more to do in this state, but as it stands, it’s just a layover. We may find more on our way to Kentucky, but somehow I doubt it. (Apparently, all of the ‘interesting’ attractions in WV, such as the “Mystery Hole”, are south of our intended route.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
