I know ... I wish I was riding that cart too! Oh to be young again!
On the way to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame we saw all of the professional sports venues in Cleveland (baseball - Cleveland Indians; basketball - Cleveland Cavaliers; football - Cleveland Browns). Here are some pictures of the stadiums:
Progressive Field - Home of the Cleveland Indians
Quicken (Q) Arena - Home of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Just a cool picture of Lebron James that was on the side of a building in downtown Cleveland.

Right next to the football stadium is an IMAX theatre and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. All located right on the shores of Lake Erie. When we parked the car and started walking to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Aidan was more interested in the "sea gulls" flying near the harbor located behind the stadium and theatre. The building was really awesome to look at and a high school symphony was there playing rock and roll songs on their instruments outside the Hall. The highlight for Aidan was playing XBox. Cameras were not allowed inside the exhibits so out pictures are limited, but here are some pics of our visit:

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was a real blast! Afterwards we were off to Niagara Falls, NY and on the way out of Cleveland we stopped by Q Arena to get Aidan a Lebron James jersey. Aidan wanted to wear it in the car as soon as we got it!
On the way to Niagara Falls we passed through New York's wine country. Andrea and I never had any idea there were so many grapes being grown in NY. We had hoped to make it to Niagara Falls in time to ride the Maid of the Mist, but we hit some traffic in Buffalo and had spent a few hours at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame so we didn't get to ride it today. But we managed to get into Canada even though we forgot our passports and birth certificates (passports are required as of June 1, 2009, if you are planning a trip).
We stayed in a the Sheritan Hotel Fallsview on the 19th floor and our room overlooked the Canadian side of the falls and we could also see the US falls. We ate at Tony Roma's and had some ribs ... YUMMY! Aidan wanted to go to "incredible land" (it is actually called Clifton Hill and is a really cool place with lots of nightlife and things to do). He really liked Clifton Hill and he played his first round of miniature golf (a.k.a. putt-putt golf). He can get a hole in one at will, unfortunately to get it he runs across the course and places his ball in the cup. He was too cute! At night the American falls are lit with colored lights and it is really beautiful to see the colors bouncing through the mist of the falls.
Here are some pictures of us in Canada:

Aidan got some ice cream with his kids meal. 
We got to write our name on the wall of Tony Roma's.

Aidan winning putt-putt. Actually Andrea won!
The putt-putt course was pretty psychedelic with neon paint and black lights. Aidan really though it was cool!
The lights on the American falls through the mist.
After a long day of playing and seeing the sights Aidan was really tired!
