Day 2 - Windsor to CINCINNATI!

We were both a little nervous going across the border. We weren't doing anything wrong, but uniformed officers always seem to put the fear of God into me. The customs lady was actually very friendly and made us feel at ease.

We had a little trouble getting on the I75 due to (sigh) detours. A biiiiig long detour. But we still made it to Big Boy in time to have lunch. Yum! I know why Dr. Evil hides out there.

Another nice surprise was the price of gas. Quite a bit cheaper than back home. That makes our trip that much more affordable. Also making it affordable is our awesome hotel. Free popcorn and soda (their word), and a happy hour with free snacks (NACHO BAR!) and drinks. We also get a hot breakfast for free and internet for free. This place is great! Thanks Drury Hotels!

Cincinnati itself is very nice. It's a very pretty city with beautiful architecture. It's clean and the few people we encountered were very friendly and helpful.

We made it over to Skyline Chili for some Cincinnati style chili. It tasted a bit odd at first bite, but before I knew it I was pounding the sucker back. (We're bringing some home to share.)

After dinner we made our way across the bridge to Kentucky. It was very different from Cincinnati in terms of appearance. Different buildings, mostly. We were just driving around and didn't get out of the car, but we hope to soon. Very pretty looking place. From there we could also get a great look at the Cincinnati skyline from across the river. Just a beautiful view.

We're taking it easy now. Tomorrow promises to be a busy (but fun) day!
