Take a vacation

Indiana is ideal for vacations. Indiana has wonderful activities for all ages. Fort Wayne Children's Zoo,
is fun for 0-11 years old! The Children's Museum of Indianapolis, is fun for the grumpy dads and
teens/tweens. Do you have a family member that is obsessed with cars? The Dream Car Museum,
would be heaven, along with, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It is the site of the greatest spectacle in
sports, the Indianapolis 500. The Indianapolis 500 is held every Memorial Day weekends in the Hoosier
capital city. The race is 200 laps or 500 miles long. Want a bite to eat? Indiana even has a Hard Rock
Cafe. I recommend driving. Its $1,785.00 for my whole family to fly. Can you believe that?
