Shepshewana here we come!-------- Rock & Roll in Cleveland, Ohio

September 27, 2015-Sunday-This morning we left the Discovery Rally & our RV friends. It was fun seeing our Florida chapter friends, even the others, we knew a lot of them from attending the Southeast Regional Rally in Florida! Now we're ready for our next adventure, Shipshewana, Indiana. Even tho we've been there several times, we enjoy going back there, Otis....not so much!?!

                                                   Iowa has the barns! I love barn photos!

We're anxious to get rolling...

Wait a minute......are we in reverse???? The RV Rally was actually out of our way, but we were close enough & since we'd never been to a National Rally before, why not? It's not like we didn't have the time!?!
We are Indiana bound....

& I can't wait to get away from all this traffic.
Hello Indiana!
Already the traffic is thinning!
Now here's the Indiana I love!!!
Oh-Oh
& here's the Indiana Otis HATES!!!

The Amish horse & buggies DRIVE Otis CRAZY!!!!


We made it! Shipshewana RV Park. We've stayed here a few times!

Otis was probably happy that we have been here a few times, so this time we called ourselves, just passing through! Tomorrow we're just going to drive some of the country roads, we're NOT even going to pig out at one of those wonderful Amish Restaurants(that will come later in Pa!) just going to look in a few shops, mostly just relax. Oh poor Otis.....he just can't relax with those Amish buggies on the road! On Tuesday & Wednesday they have a huge Flea Market in town, wouldn't you know it....we're pulling out Tuesday morning. Well.....we've been there before a few times too & right now I don't need to buy any Fleas!!!
                                                              Come on.....just relax!
                                                  Dad!!!!! I think I hear a buggy coming!?!
September 28th-Monday
It was a nice day for a drive in the country. We even stopped at the Rise & Shine Amish Bakery & bought a "treat" to enjoy with our lunch. We bought some ham salad & some good home made bread  to take back to the RV for lunch!!!! After lunch we left Otis at the RV so we could look around in some of the shops. I don't think he minded!

I know he didn't mind missing out on this sight!?!
Otis didn't miss us too bad because we didn't stay gone that long!It seems we just arrived here & now we're gearing up to leave....like I said, Just passing through.....
After dinner we take Otis for his last walk here, not his last chance to be raise heck with the Amish horse & buggy!!!!
Lat night was the Moon Eclipse, but it was soooooo cloudy here we didn't see ANYTHING! Tonight tho, we saw this great moon at bedtime!
I think I still have time left in life to see another eclipse!?!
September 29, 2015-Tuesday- This morning we are leaving for Cleveland, Ohio. Another "passing through" venture. Our main goal while we're passing through....is to go to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame & yes.....we've been there before but somethings are definitely worth repeating! There's no way you can see this whole museum in one visit!

                                                  Otis is ready! Guess we'll roll on out!
                         We just pull out of the RV Park & Otis sees Amish Horse & Buggies!
 It's a large Amish community here, so at given moment on the roads, you're going to see a Amish Horse & buggy!
                                                   Otis keeps his eye out for more.....

                  Here we go again, & Otis is sitting on my lap giving this horse & buggy heck!!!!
                                                                     OHIO bound!!!

                                                  Look Otis.....no horse & buggies here!
It's starting to rain &  we reached our destination, Chesterland, Ohio it before the hard rain!  We aren't staying in a RV park, not even a campgrounds???? We're staying in a 55+ Mobile Home Park that keeps a few spots open for RVs!!!! It's convenient for us, it's close to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!!!

Here we are....& we fit right in 55+!?!

We listened to a rain downpour off & on all night & the temperature has dropped. Winter pajamas tonight!

September 30, 2015-Wednesday- This morning we are going to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!!!It opens up at 10:00am & we will be there! Quick cup of coffee & a bowl of oatmeal, cause it's cold out!!! We're heading down the highway!
                There's the Cleveland skyline in the background! I think I can hear the beat!!!
Oh boy! I don't know how to explain the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.....you have to go through it on your own to understand it & enjoy or not.....Myself......I didn't like all Rock & Roll, but I LOVED Motown & to this day I am stuck in the 50s & early 60s music. Don't ask me to name or even hum a current tune of today's music because I don't know any!!!!We started our day by watching a 90 minute video of the inductees into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.I took lots of pictures, I'm just including a scatter of pictures so you can get an idea of what you could see on your visit here!!!














                   Yes there's a cafe inside the Museum, we grabbed a bowl of soup at lunch time!

 This is a statue of Jane Scott. Her career in journalism took off when she covered the Beatles arrival to the USA back in the early 60's. She continued to cover rock & roll events for 40 years!
                                     Outside the museum is Johnny & June Cash tour bus.
 There was soooooo much to see, read & listen to inside the museum. You need more than a day to do it all. Doesn't matter how old or young you are,behind these doors is some form of music that everyone enjoyed sometime in their life!!!
Otis was rewarded with a McDouble for waiting patiently at the RV!?!
