During the pandemic, my Dad and I did not stop traveling. My dad is in his nineties and we lived in Indiana for part of the year. Throughout the summer and fall we instituted “Explore Indiana Saturdays”. We would pick a different destination each week. Sometimes it was a state park, a historic town or a museum. Other times we just found a unique restaurant. The photo above is of Anderson Falls in Columbus, Indiana. We discovered the Indiana Military Museum in Vincennes and my Dad decided to donate some of his military items from his service in the Vietnam War to the museum. That really was special for him and we never would have known about the opportunity if we hadn't gone out to explore our local community. Here are some ideas to help you explore your community.
Visit the beach, a lake or a river
Explore a nearby city
Go to a nearby state or national park
Explore a small town or village
Take a short road trip
