locally....

Do you ever just pick a destination in your home state and go there? We don't either. But we're trying to now. There's actually a lot to see in my home state. Last weekend we went to Vincennes. It's the oldest city in Indiana - it was a place before Indiana was a state and founded by the French in 1732. William Henry Harrison was it's first Governor and the 9th president of the US. His house was the first brick home in the territory and it's still there! Vincennes University is one of the oldest institutions of higher education in the US. 
There's a lot of history in Vincennes! They even have a military museum. I know that sounds dorky, but it was pretty cool. I'd never seen a tank in person. And it was a glorious Spring day and we didn't have to have our masks on :-)
