After breakfast at the hotel we departed
for a Land & Sea Tour via Lolly the
Trolley and the Nautica Queen Cruise ship.
After a
short ride into Cleveland, we boarded the Nautica Queen Cruise Ship to enjoy a 2-hour
Lake & River cruise
which included an unlimited hot buffet lunch. After
our 2-hour lunch cruise,
we again
boarded the Lolly the Trolley for the land portion of the tour.
The tour was a fun
and fact filled 2-Hour City Sightseeing Tour revealing Cleveland’s past,
present and future.
The fully narrated
tour included Downtown, North Coast Harbor, the Flats, the Warehouse District,
Ohio City and the West Side Market, the Gateway Sports area, Playhouse Square,
University Circle and the Cultural Gardens.
In the evening we had a group reservation for dinner
at Cleveland’s Hofbräuhaus,
which was modeled after the legendary 400+ year-old
Hofbräuhaus in Munich, Germany.
There we
were able to enjoy the traditionally decorated rooms, the beer that is brewed
on-site,
and of course the excellent German fare which featured traditional
Bavarian dishes.

Cleveland’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,
the world's foremost museum

least 2 to 4 hours visiting the main
exhibits.
After visiting the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame, we were free to do some independent sightseeing at nearby
venues.
In the evening we gathered for drinks and our catered
plated Reunion Dinner Banquet in the hotel.
