 If there’s one Midwest destination that continues to surprise me in all seasons, it has to be South Bend, Indiana. There is truly so much to see and do in this area and always something new popping up! We had so much fun on our recent visit and got to enjoy some of our favorite snowy season adventures like tubing and ice skating, while also trying out some new activities like duck pin bowling and a cat cafe.
Whether you love to get outside and make the most of snowy season fun, or you’d rather adventure indoors, I’ve rounded up the best places to visit for the perfect winter weekend getaway.

 If you’re in search of your next family-friendly Midwest road trip destination, I have the perfect spot...and the location may surprise you! Greater Lafayette, Indiana is located along the scenic Wabash River offering access to two great cities and one historic university with a perfect blend of history, modern attractions, unique animal encounters, and hands on exploration for kids of all ages. We visited when my daughter was around 2 years old and we had the best time. Many of the places we stopped at would also be great for older kids and even teenagers.

If you’re in search of your next Midwest girls’ weekend destination that has a little bit of everything from art, nature, history, shopping, live music, rooftop cocktails and great food..I’ve got you covered! My mom and I recently visited Elkhart, Indiana and had the best time. I couldn't believe how much this city had to offer while still maintaining its small town charm.

We recently visited Silver Lake in Mears, Michigan for our eight year wedding anniversary with our almost two year old daughter. I love this area so much and feel like it has such a different and more laid back vibe than the other Michigan beach towns. I also think it's a perfect getaway for families as there are so many great adventures for kids of all ages.
 Why not take a break from the ordinary and try something new in South Bend, Indiana?
We loved our recent summer getaway to “The Bend” and couldn’t believe how many amazing adventures there were to be had for all ages. From feeding giraffes at the zoo, racing down the rapids, digging for fossils, and cheering on the Cubbies, to enjoying a slower pace while wandering through the beautiful outdoor parks and Mishawaka Market, this is one city that truly has it all!

This charming Midwest town probably isn't on your bucket list...but it should be! We recently visited the town of Winona Lake, Indiana located in Kosciusko County and instantly fell in love with this dreamy lakeside community. With nine miles of trails, peaceful waterfront views, spacious parks, a beach and splash pad, several delicious restaurants and a walkable shopping village, this town makes the perfect summer road trip.
