For the last few years, we have been trying to take short vacations in Indiana. This year, we made it to the Dunes and got to see Lake Michigan. It was amazing. We stayed in Portage, and went to 3 or 4 different beaches. What I liked most about the area was that it wasn't a big tourist trap. There is a cool little zoo in Michigan City that only costs $5.50 for adults. We also found the coolest store called Captain Ed's candy store. That store has everything from 1000's of old albums to pinball machines to truck rims. Does anyone else have any Indiana vacation spots?

I think I had a heart attack climbing this hill to get some pictures.

Here are some pictures from the zoo.

I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

It was wonderful times!

Parson you would be hard pressed to find a better area than around Patoka lake. There are some great hikes, rides, scenery, historical places, fishing, places to eat and ,,,,, well I think you get the idea.

If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn`t buy one.
If a liberal doesn't like guns, he feels that no one should have one.
