My husband, two year old daughter, and I recently made the nearly 500 mile journey from our home in Kansas City to beautiful Corydon, Indiana. You might be thinking that a small town near the Indiana / Kentucky border makes for a unique travel destination and you might be wondering what brought us there in the first place… Corydon happens to be a great almost-half way point between where we live in the central Midwest and where my husband’s parents and grandparents live back East. Within a stone’s throw from Louisville, Kentucky (about a half hour drive), it’s the ideal setting for a laid back, relaxed time in a small town atmosphere.

Corydon has a lot to offer both residents and visitors alike and their downtown area is a beautiful setting for history buffs who want to learn about Indiana’s first state capitol. During this series, I will be featuring some of the things I enjoyed most about our stay in Corydon but I encourage you to check it out for yourself. You can find more information about the town, their vibrant history, and what they have to offer by checking out their website: This Is Indiana. For now, I want to share a few of the pictures I snapped while we were there. If you’d like to use these photos for any reason, please email me first: itsanordinaryblog@gmail.com. Enjoy!

Feeding right into my sense of humor (which isn’t unlike that of a 13 year old boy), I couldn’t help but snap a photo of Corydon’s famous “Butt Drugs”.

I can’t wait to highlight some of my favorite moments from the trip including our dining experience at a unique gastropub in Corydon, a fantastic ice cream shop in the area, and our visit with the Louisville Bats. Stay tuned!
