Today we were motivated to see some Cleveland landmarks. We had an early morning trip to the lab for INR monitoring, but had the rest of the day to do as we pleased. I filled my bag with pain meds and water to keep Shawn comfortable while we were away from the hotel. Our first stop was the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. So much to see! We especially enjoyed the Elvis exhibit and the actual Hall of Fame portion. There is a reason Elvis is king, and now Shawn is a believer. Luckily, there were several theaters throughout the museum with fantastic videos where we could take breaks as Shawn wore himself out. We cut our time a little short to grab some conch fritters at the Nauti Mermaid. Excellent choice. We returned to the hotel for a nice long afternoon nap.
I packed our bags to head home tomorrow. How do we always seem to leave with so much more than we came with?! We were still full of crab dip and conch fritters so we decided to skip dinner and head straight for dessert. We hit one of our favorite Cleveland hot spots in Little Italy for cannolis, gelato, and cassata cake. Don't judge, we've been living off of hospital food for the last week. I think we can all agree that we deserved it, and Corbos has the best cassata cake around. Don't believe me? Ask Mario Batali, it is his favorite too. Back to the hotel for cake in bed and another South Park marathon. Early night so we can be ready for the long trip home tomorrow.
We want to thank everyone again for their continued support. We couldn't have gotten through this without you.
