This is the eastern view of the Indiana dunes. It is kind of confusing because the national park is…read morethe west portions several miles away. My personal favorite is the Indiana state park side which is the east side. The photos included in this review are of the east side which is considered the state park. This is my favorite place to watch the sunset. There are several Great hikes. If you visit the visitor center and walk along the beach for a few minutes west, you will see a really large tower. This is a place where you can go up and have a look at birds (I think it's actually a birdwatching tower) and there is a beautiful hike through a pretty wildflower field south west of this tower. We saw cacti, so many native plants, more monarch butterflies than I could count in such a variety of birds. We stayed until the sunset. Do you want to make sure to get there 20 minutes before the sunset and find a place to sit down and just enjoy it. You will have an enjoyable time for about 45 minutes watching the sky change colors over the water. It is hard to believe that you were in Indiana because the waves sound just like the ocean. I am so glad that this area has been preserved by the national park service and the state park system. It is truly a treasure for the state of Indiana.

There is a free theater on site that shares dunes history and current facts on a continuous loop. Gift shop is great. You might find National Park logo gear, local distillery non alcoholic merch and a small satellite Fluid Coffee Shop. There are a few park rangers on site to give advice on walking/hiking trails. They are also happy to answer any questions about the Indiana Dunes National Park. The lakeshore has two separate parks - a National Park and a State Park. Each park has a lot of similar attractions and a few different. If you have a yearly National Park Pass, I recommend going to the National Park. If you are an Indiana resident the State Park is a $7 admission per vehicle or $20 for out of state visitors.

People, why am I the only one reviewing these places? I don't even live in Chesterton (or…read moreIndiana)! Hah! Well anyway, I noticed that Chelle's and Green Garage were nowhere to be found on Yelp so I decided to fix that. As far as I know, Chelle's and Green Garage are owned by the same person. While Green Garage is more antique furniture and home decor focused, Chelle's has a ton of super cute and cool clothing plus jewelry, shoes, soaps, and other fun stuff. I initially found it while walking my dog through Chesterton one morning and then quickly returned with my mother to do some serious shopping. The items in this store can be a bit expensive, however, it all appeared to be "Made in the USA" and environmentally-friendly products. I LOVE that she has sale racks full of awesome clothes, really cute dresses for reasonable prices, and I even ended up with this great product I can spray on my dog to keep him from getting all stinky. This might not be a place where the guys are excited to frequent but it's a great spot for the ladies. Shop local!

Earlier this year, I decided to reignite my inner creative and found the Chesterton Art Center.

At first, I barely managed a doodle, but my instructor, Diana Stezalski, encouraged me to see things differently. With a piece of charcoal in hand, I learned to observe more clearly and explore the dramatic effects of black-and-white drawing. Not only did the class provide me with personalized college-level instruction, but I also gained heartfelt collaboration with my peers, learning from each other's disciplines and forging friendships. I've taken a lino cut printing class to grow my skills. CAC offers a wide range of classes at affordable prices I can't wait to dive into my next creative adventure, who knows maybe pottery?
