Have you ever wanted to stop the insanity of your family's day-to-day life?  Wouldn't it be nice to turn off the computers, the Television, the cell phones, the hand-held video games and other technological "advances" and get down to life basics!  Author Jane Margolies did just that and she writes in Travel & Leisure magazine about her family’s experience visiting Conner Prairie, an open-air-living history museum in Fishers, Indiana.  For a weekend, Jane and her family stepped back in time and experienced life as 1886 pioneer homesteaders.  For more information on this program you can read Jane’s article or contact Conner Prairie at 317-776-6000 or connerprairie.org.  Who knows?  You might be a rope's throw away from a wonderful family experience!
