Painting it brought back a lot of fun memories of your visit, for my wife as well!

You know, I should have put a hidden picture in it. I wasn’t thinking silly at the time, so I didn’t do it. Back in school, I used to hide tons of things in my paintings… ALFs, or New Jerseys, or words… I should start doing that again.
