Day 69 - Cleveland

Our stop in Cleveland was mostly for the baseball game (the last of the trip :( ). Still, we had some time before, so we went to the most obvious place a tourist in Cleveland goes.

That's right! The A Christmas Story house!

In all seriousness, A Christmas Story is one of our favorite Christmas movies, if not one our favorite movies in general. So, this was on our list from the very beginning!

It was even more fun than we expected. It included a museum for the movie and a guided tour of the house. We learned a lot about the making of this wonderful film. It's an interesting story, but basically, everything in the house is reimagined, and everything in the museum is from the actual film.

Before the game, we ate at Melt Bar & Grilled, which was delicious, but filling - to say the least!

The game was a blast, and we had better seats than usual. What a beautiful stadium! Luckily the sun was almost behind the scoreboard by the first pitch. It was hot, hot, hot.  

The home team beat the Tigers 12 - 1. We saw so many blow outs!
