The Pro Football Hall of Fame was always high on our list when we were planning this trip, mainly because it's not often you're traveling through Canton, Ohio, so you might as well go while you can.
It was worth it - we spent a solid 2 1/2 hours there, not even counting the massive gift shop, where we purchased more unnecessary souvenirs - the calling card of the trip so far.
