Chicago Skyline Silhouette

My first painting since high school is now complete.  My in-laws bought me a paint set for Christmas, of which nothing has been done until now.  Hopefully this is the first of more to come. 

We wanted something for our apartment, so I put together a silhouette of the Chicago skyline.  Here it is:

Skyline Chili

What a great day!  I ate Skyline Chili, something that was dearly missed.

Cincinnati Skyline

Next week, my wife and I are making yet another road trip, only this time to the beloved Cincinnati.  We are attending her graduation ceremony.  This also gives us an excuse to see some friends that we do not get to be with any longer.  My hope is that we can both feel relaxed and not rushed through all of the ceremonial happenings (then again, when do graduations ever feel rushed?).

Another thing in which I am greatly looking forward to is eating at Skyline Chili.  Ah… Cincinnati Chili.  If you have never experienced this wonderful dish, you have no idea what you are missing.  Not everyone can appreciate such a wonderful meal, and that is their problem.  <mouth starts watering>

Yet again, Reality Tuesday and Rohs Street Cafe are a must on my stops.  Both of these coffee shops have something different to offer, and both are dearly missed.  Unfortunately the closest thing to either of these place is a Panera Bread… even then, there is more of a Starbucks feel than anything.  Not that it is a bad thing, just different.

Cincinnati.  Great city.
