Embrace Adventure, Capture Moments, Celebrate Life – For Hip Women Over 50
Indiana is my favorite state to slow down and mosey. The world may call the Midwest flyover country, but Indiana proves, one stop at a time, that this is mosey-through-it country!
Muncie is known for Ball State University, with famous graduates like TV Icon David Letterman and cartoonist Jim Davis and his fat cat Garfield. Still, there’s even more to discover. You’ll be glad to know there is no shortage of things to do in Muncie, Indiana!
One thing I have learned about destinations in the Midwest is that you should never underestimate a community, especially when it comes to our varied tapestry of American History. Every small town I visit has its own flavor of history and culture, and DuBois County in Southern Indiana is no different!
The best Amish Attractions in Indiana Amish Country are tucked away in the northern part of the state, just a few minutes South of Michigan’s border. In Shipshewana and the surrounding communities, time seems to slow down, and the hustle and bustle of modern life give way to a simpler, slower pace.
Indiana isn’t just cornfields and open spaces. Tucked away in the quiet corners of the state, you’ll find a wealth of treasures in the small towns, full of cool things to see and do. From stunning street art that brings ordinary walls to life to fantastic foodie experiences, these off-the-radar attractions are precisely the experiences that capture the unique heart of America.
As the holiday season approaches and the first part of November gives way to the end of fall and the beginning of winter, the small town of Shipshewana, Indiana, transforms into a festive wonderland. The annual Lighting Up Shipshewana event marks the beginning of the Christmas season and draws visitors from near and far.
First things first, let’s talk logistics. Shipshewana’s Lights of Joy is situated on the grounds of the Shipshewana RV Park, right next to the grounds of the Shipshewana flea market. The display is a breathtaking 1.8-mile course of Christmas light scenes that will leave you and your family in awe.
I recently traveled to Hendricks County, Indiana, and the small town of Brownsburg, where the delightful and compelling Oinking Acres Farm Rescue and Pig Sanctuary is tucked away in a quiet corner.
No matter where you come from, you will fall a little in love with Oinking Acres and its many residents.
I recently had an opportunity to visit the World’s Largest Ball of Paint, a unique and quirky roadside attraction nestled in the heart of Indiana’s corn country in a town called Alexandria. I had no idea what to expect before arriving, but I sure do know it wasn’t what I found!
