Vaction...at the cradle of pro football!!!!

Thanks to internet being available in rooms at hotels, people are now able to hit you with a blog from the comfort of their hotel room. Which is where I am coming from right now.
I am taking my vaction in Canton, Ohio. Now while most people would be totally dumbfounded as to why I would vaction in Canto Ohio...read the title of this entry. I am on day three of my six day Vaction and I am loving it, this is the first vaction in which I am taking alone, all I am having a blast doing what I want to do.

Day one
I did something that I have wanted to do evey since I was in eigth grade. I went to the Pro Football Hall Of Fame. Man I loved it! I arrivied at 9 when the doors opened and left at a quarter to 7. I easily could've stayed to eight. They had so much stuff to look at and interact with. I got to see the many exhibits that they have up, like the deatiled start of football. Accounts of the game from legends like Jim Thorpe and George Halas. Exhibts on every team in the NFL. Thousands upon thousnds of old artifcats, like the uniform Walter Payton was wearing when he broke the record or the coin that George W. Busch used in the first and suprisingly only time a current U.S. Presdient particapated in a coin toss for the NFL. I spent hours in the Hall of Fame Gallery where I saw the many sculpted bronze likeness of every Hall of Fame enshrinee, and rubbed all the ones that I wanted to. Some of those included Thrope, Lombardi, Landry, Butkus, Halas, Greene, Unitas, Dick nightrain Lane, Munoz, Brown, Payton, Fritz Pollard, and the one that probally meant the most to me...Reggie White. Those were just a few amongst the many. I watched excitng film footage of all of these and other enshrinees. I spent multiple viewings in the Gameday Stadium Theartes watching film courtesy of the NFL films. Which by the way rotates 180 degrees. It was good to see the sections dedicated to impact black players had on the game. I could go on and on and on....but I just wanna say one more thing about it. For years and years I wanted to go with my father, and we never ended up going. If I would've went with my father I dont think I would've enjoyed it as much, simply becasue he would've been bored to tears. I f you totally really love football...go during the summer... go by yourself, or with somebody who loves football as much as you,,,so you can truly enjoy it.

Day two
I had my own personal tour of the Clevland Browm Stadium. Some of the hot spots on the tour included the Browns Locker Room, the new HUGE Dawg Pound, the Press box, and the luxury seating. I have plenty of pictures and can barely wait to get them developed. While I enjoyed the tour, the guy giving the tour was dryer than the Sahara Desert.

Day Three
I am still in Day Three, but I had the oppurtunity to sit and relax, and do some studying, some praying, and some reflecting. I really enjoyed being able to do that, just sitting and thinking....spending quality time in the word, and quality time in Prayer. I've done that today, and will continue to after I post this as well as tomarrow. Friday I plan to go up to Clevland and visit Greal Lakes Brewery...man they make great beer!!!

My shoutout this post goes out to Tom A. in my youth group. We had a Lock-in a couple of weeks ago (it went smoothly for all of you that I asked help for) and while at the minature golf place, him and engaged in a awesome shoot out in the Alien resurecttion game. I told him I would shout him out in my next blog, and didn't get around to it till now.
I will keep y'all updated on my vaction.

Be good to each other.

Take care

In Him

God Bless
