We decided to wake up early on Tuesday and head out to Cleveland. There are a few things I really wanted to see but, the most important was in the Cleveland Metropolitan Zoo. The zoo was undoubtedly one of the best I’ve ever been to. I’m a sucker for animals and to see hundreds, for only 10 dollars, is so worth it! We made our way through the Australia section, the aquarium, primates, and then it came time for the purpose of our trip, the polar bears. I can’t even explain to you how disappointed I was when we came up to the Polar Bear section and it was empty. From there we headed to the Rainforest building where the Orangutans cheered me up.
From the Zoo we headed into the city to see some sites from Roadside America. Our first destination was a must, A Christmas Story museum. When we arrived we were not disappointed; there it was, the house from A Christmas Story, with the leg lamp in the window and all. The only downfall was that the museum was closed. Never the less, it was neat to see.
The next stop on our agenda was the Old Arcade. The Old Arcade is one of America’s first indoor shopping malls. It would have been amazing to see however, the city parking was not in love with the little guy, so we skipped out and just drove past.
The last stop in Cleveland was the Lake View Cemetery where President Garfield and John D. Rockefeller were buried. (Jason would like me to note that he thinks it’s creepy to take photos in a cemetery, unless it’s Arlington or a funny name on a tomb stone, and stayed in the car while I ran around.)
From Cleveland we drove straight to Indiana where we stopped to get free Wi-Fi and watch an Amish family enjoy there Wendy’s dinner (apparently they love their spicy chicken sandwiches.)
