    October 17, 2024 - By Jen

    During our stay near Indiana Dunes National Park, we decided to check out Gabis Arboretum in nearby Valporaiso, and I’m so glad we did. Tucked away on 300 acres of natural beauty, it felt like the perfect spot to slow down and really connect with nature. From the restored prairie…

While in Alabama, we, of course, had to do the tra While in Alabama, we, of course, had to do the track tour at Talladega Superspeedway and it was actually SO cool. Josh is a big NASCAR fan, so of course he was loving every second- and now he’s convinced we have to come back someday for a real race. 🏁

New blog post is up with all the details, prices, tips, and our review if you ever wanna check it out (or surprise the NASCAR fan in your life with a fun day trip 😉).
