Hello Cleveland!

So, we've basically come to the conclusion that if we're LUCKY, we may be able to make it to our beach house on Tuesday or Wednesday -- but maybe not. Until then, we're just going to make things up as we go! We've settled down for the night in Cleveland, Ohio, with the intention of visiting the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame tomorrow! Probably won't "wow" us in the same way as the RV and Motor Home Museum we passed earlier today, but we'll give it a shot. And HEY - after taking crap about my Cleveland Indians hat every single day for a year (Look - it was free. I don't even like them!), I'd just like to ask all of the Cubs and Sox fans out there where THEIR mascot's crispy chocolate bar is! For the record, Chief Wahoo was choc-full of native-americany goodness...

 

M.O.A.D.

With the weather in the Outer Banks getting worse, we decided to take our time and stop at Tony Packo's in Toledo, Ohio - - a place made famous by Jamie Farr's M.A.S.H character Klinger - who talked about it all the time. Pictured here is the M.O.A.D. - the "Mother Of All Dogs". It's huge. Under that mountain of cheese is Packo's famous chili. Freaking de-lish...but will probably take a couple of days to finish. 

 

The cold front moves in....

After just a couple of hours of driving we run right into the massive cold front moving toward the Atlantic and bound to collide with Sandy - creating even more problems.

Leaving HQ..

Tina and Brawley leave WTW headquarters with the intention of driving directly into the path of Hurricane Sandy! That's right -- what's being called a "FRANKENSTORM" of monumental proportions may just put a quick end to our long-planned vacation! But we're going to get close and wait it out if we have to! Wish us luck!
