Cleveland

Hey guys,

Welcome to our hastily-created blog for our road-trip! We just finished having brunch with Lacey and her boyfriend Brad (who is very cool and loves fat guys) and decided we'd set up a blog before we depart.

I just got to Cleveland, OH yesterday around 7pm, after driving from my home in Mount Airy, MD and have been having a ton of fun since the moment I arrived. Greeted by an ecstatic duo of Laura and Ben K. (who is visiting Laura currently from Chicago, IL), we immediately got down to business eating--well seasoned potatoes and Italian sausage--probably one of our last meals that won't come on a diner plate or wrapped in plastic! I bet you didn't know this was going to be a food blog, too. Well you're in luck because it's a two-fer. Bonus material provided by both Laura and me.
Anyway, so Laura and Ben K. are both packing up right now; Ben K. for his bus ride back to the jewel of the Midwest, and Laura for the time of her life. It's hard to prepare for that. I just included as much entertainment as I could come up with, and some cold-weather clothing. Call me a walking disaster. Speaking of which, Laura apparently read her horoscope for the near future and it said something to the effect of, "Avoid travel, serious health risk, etc. etc. monsters, etc." end quote. So it's clear destiny will be fulfilled.

Check back here often for updates and pictures of our fantastic journey, and please feel free to comment with suggestions of place to go, things to eat, etc. We'll keep you posted about the monsters.
