To say that anyone reading this needs to go to the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame is an understatement. It's an all-day music experience that should not be missed.
We spent close to five hours there and you could easily spend at least 9 listening to all of the great things they have spread out over six floors. It's also the last major thing we will be doing on this trip and a good way to go out. We've seen and experienced so many amazing things over the past three weeks - this will definitely go in the top 5.
Note: We could not use flash inside so some of the photos may be a little dark. But don't complain: we're not charging you to read this.
