Ohio

We made it to Cleveland...early...because my mom's aunt's 80th birthday party got moved up to Saturday. So we left Louisville and drove to Canton to go to the football hall of fame. I never thought I'd go to any sports hall of fame in my life, and now I've gone to one, and will be close enough to go to the baseball hall of fame while I'm living out here. It was pretty awesome, with a lot of history and stuff I didn't know. Merchandise was a little disappointing though, all the Bears stuff was sold out. Took a ton of pictures too.
I swear it seems like we have "we're from california" tattooed on our foreheads. Everywhere we go people seem to stare at us. I do admit, it's a totally different world out here. I never knew our country was so GREEN! And so many trees that aren't palm trees. Ohio is way laid back though. Freeway speed limit is 55 in the cities. It's kind of hard to explain, but it is just different here.
So there is no one really to watch the boys next weekend, so it looks like my mom and Ryan will be leaving me on Wednesday morning. It doesn't give us much time to get me a car, couch and bed and it is making me enjoy our trip a little less knowing that soon I'm going to be totally alone. However, a small part of me is still excited, and a little anxious to go back to school (sick right? I know).
Nothing really odd or funny to report...unless you count that my mom said she's learned a few new words on this trip...none of which I'll put here...although our favorite expression has been "eh hoser." I guess it's from the movie Strange Brew, but we've been calling each other that the whole trip.
I'm about ready for bed. We got a suite for the next 2 nights, so I get to sleep with Ryan, oh joy. Tomorrow is going to be a long day.

Comment re "people are staring at us, like they know we're from Calif.":
We noticed after Michael shaved his head that when we visit NY, Vermont, etc., people started staring at us. So, I think the shaved head is the attention-getter. Let me know if notice you don't see many bald guys, especially young ones (its cold there), and if that might be why they're staring... fear he's an Aryan Brother, KKK?????
