Da-Da-Da Dun!

From southern end of Cuyahoga Valley NP, it was only about 45 minutes farther to Canton, OH and the mecca of the gridiron... the Pro Football Hall of Fame! Cue the heavenly chorus! *Aaaahhhh!*

Hello, Sweetness!

What an excellent place to visit! Of course, since the Bears are well-represented here, we may be a little biased! Even still, in addition to the displays of memorabilia, there were also several interactive exhibits. The boys (both the big and little ones!) loved seeing footage of the Hall of Famers in action. Actually, I did, too! And with all of the on-field audio and video, the film about this year's Super Bowl XLVI between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots was pretty cool to watch!

Bears, Bears, and more Bears!

Bear down, Chicago Bears, make every play clear the way to victory;

Bear down, Chicago Bears, put up a fight with a might so fearlessly.

We'll never forget the way you thrilled the nation with your T-formation.

Bear down, Chicago Bears, & let them know why you're wearing the crown.

You're the pride and joy of Illinois, Chicago Bears, bear down.
