My company closed down in March and I had some time off before starting a new position so I decided to take a 4 day whirlwind road trip with my friend Dan. Our first stop was in Cleveland to see the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. We spent hours here and didn’t even have much time to read all the plaques. Definitely a cool place worth seeing, be sure to set aside almost an entire day to see everything!
