Fine dining around Valpo

These photos are from dining establishments in and around Valparaiso, IN. Next week will mark four years that I have been a regular visitor to Valpo. When I first started coming here I used to think that I would have to go to Chicago to get a decent meal. Steak ’n Shake and Bob Evans were not exactly my idea of fine dining. I eventually found a couple places that would satisfy my culinary desires, but even Cracker Barrel can only go so far. During my most recent visit to Indiana I did more exploring and discovered that there are …

Photos of Valparaiso, IN

geek good girl, Indiana, Photos, pictures, road trip, Travel, Valparaiso, Valpo / 1 minute of reading / June 20, 2011

These photos were taken over a few days in the last month or so. I seem to keep returning before I can get all my photos up. Anyway, these are primarily in the downtown Valpo area. One evening we happened to be there when they were having a movie night, with ’How To Train a Dragon’ being featured. It was a little cooler than people are used to at that time of year, but it still had a good turn out. Back to Valpo Photos Back to Valpo Photos

Photos from Tippecanoe and Battle Ground, too

Buddy, Dodge Charger, geek good girl, Indiana, Photos, pictures, road trip, Tippecanoe, Travel / 1 minute of reading / June 19, 2011

These photos are from Battle Ground, IN and the Tippecanoe battle field. One day, while visiting Indiana, I decided to try and meet up with a cousin that lives in Tennessee. We had not seen each other in close to 40 years, and since we were on the same side of the Mississippi River, I figured it was worth a try. Tanya, Buddy and I got in the Charger and headed south. A couple of hours later we came upon a sign that suggested we were close to Battle Ground and Tippecanoe. Since I can not resist visiting historical sites, …

Flag Day 2011, Valparaiso, IN

Flag Day, Indiana, Photos, pictures, Porter County, Valparaiso / 1 minute of reading / June 14, 2011

It is Flag Day and I am still in Valparaiso, IN. Tanya informed me that there was a replica of one of our nation’s first official flags being displayed at the Porter County Courthouse, so I took a drive over there to take some photos. I have to admit, I always thought that the first flag had the 13 stars in a circle, but apparently that is not the case. I also thought that the stars had 5 points, but this flag’s stars has 6. After researching this, I discovered that there is some debate as to which way was …

Photos from Indiana Dunes and Lake Michigan

Indiana, Indiana Dunes, Lake Michigan, Photos, pictures, road trip, Travel / 1 minute of reading / June 14, 2011

These are photos from Indiana Dunes and the Lake Michigan shoreline in Indiana. After arriving in Indiana I had to take care of some issues with my laptop (the reason these photos were not put up on the day they were taken). Since I had some time to kill, I decided to take a drive up to Lake Michigan and explore Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. Back to Indiana Dunes Photos Back to Indiana Dunes Photos

Dining in Valparaiso, IN

Don Quijote's, food, Indiana, Photos, pictures, restaurants, Valparaiso, Valpo / 1 minute of reading / June 7, 2011

When I visit Tanya in Valparaiso, there are a couple of restaurants I try to always make time to visit. My favorite restaurant in Valpo has to be Don Quijote Spanish Restaurante. We discovered this gem due to a billboard on the highway claiming it was the only Spanish restaurant in Indiana. I guess a second Spanish restaurant has opened in Indy, so they will have to settle for being the first and, most likely, the best. Elena, one of the owners is very friendly and seems to always hire friendly people as servers. We always enjoy ourselves and having …

Photos from the Cumberland Loop

Buddy, Indiana, Photos, pictures, Travel, Valparaiso, Valpo, walking / 1 minute of reading / June 7, 2011

Since I was spending a few days in Valparaiso, Tanya and I took our dogs (Hershey and Buddy) for a couple walks around the Cumberland Loop. The Cumberland Loop is close to downtown Valpo and seems to be a wildlife refuge. To be honest, I am not sure if it is designated as such, but there were plenty of geese and ducks that seem to think it is. Either way, there are a couple different routes you can take and it is quite relaxing and scenic. Back to Cumberland Loop Photos Back to Cumberland Loop Photos

Photos from 4th Amendment protest in Indy

Indiana, Photos, pictures, protest, rally / 1 minute of reading / May 25, 2011

A couple of weeks ago, the Indiana State Supreme Court ruled on the appeal of Barnes v. State of Indiana. While it should have been an extremely simple case to rule on (Barnes was guilty), the Supreme Court decided that they wanted to use this case as an excuse to essentially overturn the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution. Not only did they say that Barnes was guilty, but they decided that the police do not need to have a reason to enter homes in the Hoosier State. They said if the cops enter your house illegally, you are free …

It has been a year since I changed the format of GotBaddog.com. In that time, I have done a lot of traveling and I have taken a lot of photos. I would not even hazard a guess as to how many photos I take in a year, I just know I am glad we use memory cards instead of film these days. In the past year, Tanya and I have visited AZ, NV, UT, NM, CO, OK, TX, LA, MS, AR, TN, KY, MO, NE, IA, IN, SD KS, IL, WY, Ireland, Spain and The Netherlands. I also went to …

A Photo a Day For September 2010

A Picture a Day – Project 365 September 2010 What a month September was. I should have figured that starting it off with a visit to a doctor was not a good way to start it off, but I had little choice. Enough complaining. All in all, it was a good month with a visit to my first hot air balloon festival, then off to Europe with Tanya. We had an amazing time together, visiting Ireland, Barcelona and Amsterdam.
