As many of us approach the midpoint of summer vacation, we feel like we’ve run out of things to do. How many days in a row can we honestly spend lounging by the pool? Wait. Forget I asked that. But, seriously, I’ve found a solution to the summer monotony that not only gets you outside but also has some cultural arts appeal.

Downtown La Grange
I won’t lie: My sweet tooth and my shopping addiction are a dangerous combination. So when I ventured to historic downtown La Grange on a beautiful Thursday morning, you can imagine my joy – and my companions’ fear.
