Illinois Sights [adrotate group=”6″] Valparaiso, IN To Springfield, IL Today, Tanya and I left Valparaiso, IN and began our journey back to Southern California. While our initial plans were to spend the night in Hannibal, MO we got a little distracted along the way. We came across the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in hopes on finding Lincoln’s tomb. As it turned out, he was not buried there. We hit up Google and discovered Abe was buried in Springfield, IL. Since it was on the way to Hannibal, the detour was made. Turned out to be a great idea. Many thanks …

Gaucho’s Brazilian Steakhouse [adrotate group=”6″] Valparaiso, IN The first time I visited Valparaiso, IN was 2007. My girlfriend was new to the area, so neither of us had a clue as far as any of the good restaurants in the area. It seemed that in order for us to find fine dining we had to drive an hour north to Chicago. Luckily, we happened to drive past Gaucho’s on Highway 30. Not only was the food good, the service was great. At the end of our meal we went into the cocktail lounge. Tanya had recently been introduced to Mai …

Photos From Road Trip Day 10 [adrotate group=”6″] Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky and Illinois Day 10 of our road trip started off in Jonesboro, AR after spending a lovely evening with some friends that live there. We really did not know where we were going to travel to today, but as we were less than 600 miles from Tanya’s home, there was a good chance that this would be the last day of this leg of the trip. We ended up headed to Missouri and the Mississippi River. We took some side roads and drove along a levee which gave us …

So, Tanya and I went to our first movie together tonight. Went to the local IMAX theater to see Avatar in 3D. I have never seen an entire movie in 3D before and I was quite impressed. The story line was so-so but the graphics were great. I would see it again. Day 23 of Project 365.

Don Quijotes Spanish Restaurante

Don Quijote’s Spanish Restaurante [adrotate group=”6″] Indiana’s oldest and only authentic Spanish restaurant I enjoy good food. Finding good food can present a challenge at times, especially when you travel to places that are not exactly tourist attractions. Northwest Indiana is one of those places. While Cracker Barrel and Steak and Shake are okay in a pinch, they do not exactly meet my standards for a quality meal. Don Quijote’s Restaurante in downtown Valparaiso definitely is the exception to the rule as far as good food is concerned. I first heard of the place when driving here from Chicago. There …
