Cincy Road Trip

D6268E07-CDE9-4211-91F7-20F6CB2FE4B2I had a recent opportunity to visit Cincinnati with my wife.  I didn’t know much about this city and it wasn’t on my radar at all.  Turns out, it was a pretty cool town.

Amazing art murals on every street, delicious eats, Art Deco architecture, historic buildings and snow!  Who can ask for anything more?

This mural is my favorite.  I am amazed at this masterpiece every time I look at it.  When you stand below it, you feel like all the gorgeous fruits and veggies are about to fall on your head.  I was told that budding student artists paint the murals.  Wow!

My first meal at this cozy French cafe.  I have never eaten a croissant with a knife and fork.  Ham and Swiss covered with bechamel sauce.  All gone!

Ok, if you know me well enough, you know I love a good meatball.  Well, this meatball was as big as a softball covered with arrabiata sauce and ricotta on the top.  Let’s just say, “Oh my!”  I ordered it for dessert and it hit the spot.

En route to Atlanta, we discovered the Colonel Sanders KFC cafe and museum in Kentucky.  How about that?  A real treat. We saw the kitchen where the secret recipe was discovered, old menus, receipts and other neat stuff.  A bucket of KFC original recipe on a Sunday afternoon brings back fond memories for me.  My Mom and Dad loved KFC and this was a special dinner treat for us when Mom took a break from cooking. Yummy!

A delicious way to end our fun road trip!  Go somewhere new and unexpected and see what you can discover.
