Cleveland

Just a bit further up the road you’ll come across The Hall of Heroes Super Hero Museum, a shrine for all you comic book superhero lovers. The place is fun for all ages, and the owners are friendly. They may even be in costume when you stop by.

If RVs are more your thing, stop by the RV & Motorhome Hall of Fame in Elkhart, IN. The RV Hall of Fame features some great vintage campers, and costs $10 a head. It might seem a little pricey, but if you own an RV, love that vintage camper aesthetic, or are considering buying one, it's worth a stop.

The South Side Soda Shop in Goshen IN, is one of the best soda shops in the whole country, and features good, classic diner food complete with some of the best pies in Hoosier nation. You may also recognize it from an episode of "Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives."

If you want to celebrate how easy we have it today, stop by Historic Sauder Village, Ohio’s largest living-history village where you can make all the Billy Madison “peeing your pants is cool” jokes you can possibly muster while watching some someone churn butter like it's the 1800s.

Just across the Ohio line you’ll come to the hard-working, blue-collar town of Toledo. Swing by the historic Oliver House to sample Maumee Bay Brewing Co.’s beer selection and choose between the higher end steakhouse, the brew pub, the cafe, the lounge, or the sports bar for your food selection.

The next diner is not only a classic 1950s aluminum diner, but it’s also attached to the Liberty Aviation Museum, a great hangar-style museum filled with vintage aircraft and military memorabilia, most notably a B-25 bomber.

If you have time for a burger at the Tin Goose Diner and a trip the museum, you’re going to leave satisfied.

Marblehead Lighthouse is a lot like the Dunes Option, only, as you guessed, it hugs Lake Erie instead of Lake Michigan. Stop for your pretty picture to prove to your friends how much you like the road less traveled. Like the Dunes option, you’ll add just a few extra miles but at least an hour or two to your drive.

After the lighthouse, it's not far to your final destination: Cleveland! From the Aloft Cleveland to the Metropolitan at The 9, there are loads of great hotels in Cleveland. The city has some cool attractions, too: from the Westside Market to the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, there's plenty to do here. And if you get hungry, nosh on B Spot Burgers and beer from Great Lakes Brewing!
