Milk Cow Music Festival at Fair Oaks Farms

by nwiltrout May 23, 2012

Fair Oaks Farms is one of my favorite Indiana pitstops, a great place to stop and take a break when on a road trip along I-65 in the northwest part of the state. While it’s an unlikely spot for family fun (its main purpose is supplying milk and other dairy products to customers all over the United States!), the [...]

Yo-Yo Competition Coming to the Indianapolis Artsgarden

by nwiltrout May 17, 2012

When I was little, I went through a yo-yo phase, where I was completely fascinated by these spinning toys on strings. I tried to master every trick, like walking the dog. I wasn’t particularly successful, but I still think yo-yos are pretty cool. On June 9, aspiring yo-yo players will compete in the Indiana State [...]

WonderLab in Bloomington, Indiana

by nwiltrout May 10, 2012

Bloomington, Indiana, home to Indiana University, is certainly a place of scientific discovery. Afterall, you’ve got researchers, professors and thought leaders in just about every academic field doing cutting edge work all over town. But my family’s recent trip to WonderLab, a children’s science museum there, taught me that discoveries can be made at any [...]

Put a Drive-In Movie on Your Summer To-Do List

by nwiltrout May 2, 2012

Summer and movies just seem to go hand in hand. Not just because the big blockbusters are usually released this time of year, but because it’s a great way to spend a few hours cooling off in an air conditioned space. But one of my favorite summer traditions, which started back in high school when [...]

Planning Your Month of May

by nwiltrout May 1, 2012

While I think being a Hoosier is pretty great all year round, I have to say that May is my absolute favorite month. Not just for the beautiful spring weather, but mostly because the shrill sound of some of the fastest cars on earth making their way around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway can once again [...]

Sycamore Land Trust Hikes and Activities

by nwiltrout April 26, 2012

I’ve been checking the weather forecast for this weekend each day. I have grand plans of hitting the hiking trail with my family to really get the spring season in full swing. I’m particularly excited because a few months ago, I stumbled upon the website for the Sycamore Land Trust and discovered a whole new-to-me collection [...]

Shipwrecks in Indiana

by nwiltrout April 19, 2012

With the centennial anniversary of the tragic sinking of the Titanic (and of course, the re-release of the blockbuster movie), talk of shipwrecks is making the rounds among both history buffs and pop culture lovers. When I think of shipwrecks, I think of enormous vessels buried deep below the ocean’s surface. I definitely don’t think of [...]

Tour and Tea in French Lick

by nwiltrout April 11, 2012

Some of my most treasured moments with my mom involve the two of us sitting around and having a long chat while drinking a cup of tea. But I’ve never experienced the long-standing British tradition of an authentic “afternoon tea.” So I loved reading about the Mother’s Day Tour and Tea in French Lick. On May 12, [...]

Last weekend, we took advantage of the Good Friday holiday and spent a wonderful spring day in Bloomington, Indiana. It’s long been one of my favorite day trip destinations in the state, and it certainly didn’t disappoint on this particular visit. I’ll be sharing some of the fun we had that day over the next [...]
