Having lived here in California for 15 years, we're used to driving long distances to get anywhere: 4.5 hours to Las Vegas, 5.5 hours to San Francisco or Sacramento, and 6 hours to Phoenix. And that's on a good day with no traffic, of course!
So whenever we come back to visit our families, I'm always looking at a map and figuring out where else we can go for a side trip. And in the Midwest, multiple states are within 4-6 hours! Woohoo! Today our Las Vegas-equivalent drive would take us from Louisville to Indianapolis, and finally to Chicago. First stop - the Indiana Statehouse!
I found my stamp, and then we wandered through the building.
Sorry, Indiana - we liked the capitol buildings in Illinois and California a little bit better...

| Indiana State Supreme Court |

| State Senate |
 |
| House of Representatives |
The
NCAA Hall of Champions is just a couple of blocks away from the Statehouse. A fun place to stop, especially for sports fanatics! Definitely a lot of hands-on exhibits here!

We had a late lunch at Steak 'n Shake - it's only the third time we've eaten it... this trip - and made it back to Chicago in time for dinner.
Four states, 1200 miles! Pretty good for a quick road trip through the Land of Lincoln!
