July 4 Holiday in Chesterton, Indiana Part I

            We enjoy visiting Indiana towns, walking, exploring and enjoying. Downtown Chesterton has some great shops with fun signs. The Dog Days ice cream shop has yummy homemade gelato - trust me when I say it's worth a visit!! Then, exit there back door and walk down to the nature center boardwalk (some parts elevated above swamp like marsh land), a part of the coffee creek conservation. It ends at a park with rubber mulch for the kids!! It'll only be two blocks over to the main Indiana Blvd., and 2 blocks North back to Dog Days.

We often visit the Texas coral steakhouse for some family restaurant fun. While it's probably a germ town, we do love to dig into the peanut barrel and throw our shells on the ground, as do all the patrons here. We frequent the Michigan City location. Highland Indiana's is nice too with deer antlers for door knobs.

Our visit was planned around the LaPorte county fair, which we try to visit every year!! Elephant ears, farm animals, animal contests, cowboy keepsakes, and car derby included. It's loads of authentic rural fun. There's a carnival that is attached and a great pioneer town we discovered this year for a flavor of authentic Pioneer life. The kids spent over an HOUR at the pioneer town alone!

More posts from our holiday fun to follow.

Make
Mistakes.
Breathe!
Reflect.
