by nwiltrout May 16, 2011

One of the best investments my family has made is a $36 drop in the bucket for an annual state park pass. While we fortunate to have several gorgeous state parks within an hour drive of our house, I’m willing to bet just about everyone in the state has a park within a reasonable drive. [...]

Avoid potentially dangerous road conditions and hop aboard the South Shore Line instead. The train runs all day long from South Bend to Chicago, seven days a week. My family recently road the [...]

by nwiltrout November 12, 2010

On a recent trip north on I-65, my family was desperate for a good meal and a chance to stretch our legs. Fortunately, we had planned a stop at Fair Oaks Farms just off the Winamac exit to meet those needs. But I wasn’t expecting to learn so much about cows, the dairy industry, and [...]
