Indianapolis Adventure: A Solo One-Day Road Trip ๐๐จ
Drove from Chicago to Indianapolis (~3 hours) through endless cornfields ๐ฝโso Midwest! Started my day with a minor mishap: coffee spilled on my white shirt โ๐ , so first stop was Circle Centre Mall ๐๏ธ (49 W Maryland St). Pro tip: The giant skylight here is insta-worthy! ๐ธ Fueled Up @ Slapfish ๐ฆ (345 Massachusetts Ave) Their lobster roll was buttery perfection! ๐โจ Fresh side salad balanced it nicely. Afterwards, strolled past quirky muralsโthe painted eyes kinda followed me... creepy-cool! ๐๐ History Pit Stops ๐๏ธ: Indiana War Memorial & Museum (Soaring & solemn) Depew Memorial Fountain (Perfect picnic spot!) Soldiers & Sailors Monument (Climb for skyline views!) Indiana Statehouse (Gold-domed beauty) Sweet Detour ๐ซ: South Bend Chocolate Co. (30 Monument Cir) grabbed a hot cocoa with a chocolate-dipped spoonโgenius! Missed Opportunities ๐ข: Indianapolis City Market (Paused ops) Tomlinson Tap Room (Permanently closed) Nature Break ๐ฟ: Wandered Central Canal + White River State Park (801 W Washington St). The riverside trails scream "slow living"โkayaks, bikes, and lazy strolls. #Indianapolis #SoloTravel #MidwestVibes #RoadTripDiaries ๐๐ธ๐ซ
