Christmas Story House

It is time for one of those crazy road trips! It began with a visit to Cleveland to the house that was used in the film, A Christmas Story. We then went to the Hard Rock Cafe for lunch. Afterwards, we did a webcam geocache. We finished the day off right by spending the night at the Quaker Square Inn (Crowne Plaza Quaker Square). The next day we did some more geocaching and then headed for home.

 

The house used for all the exterior shots in the movie	The living room with a Red Ryder BB gun in the corner	The soft glow of electric sex gleaming in the window	The kitchen using similar props seen in the movie

The museum contains a few items actually used in the movie	It also has some behind the scenes photographs	Fra-gee-lay. That must be Italian.	Actual actor who delivered the leg lamp crate
