Travel Through Southern Indiana to Louisville
Driving from Indianapolis to Louisville is usually an uneventful trip down Interstate 65. It's better to take the scenic route, which passes through Bloomington, Spring Mill State Park and French Lick, which are ripe with history and attractions. Afterwards, you'll cross the Ohio River from Indiana into Kentucky and spend the night in Louisville's Whiskey Row district.
Important note: Don't leave Indianapolis without a full overnight charge.

Uptown Cafe
Time for breakfast. Enjoy some great food in the heart of downtown Bloomington at Uptown Cafe. Chef Michael Cassady founded the restaurant in 1976, watching the business grow into a Bloomington staple over the years. The dining room has a rugged elegance with dark wood decor and eye-catching artwork.
The menu mixes American and European elements with a strong appreciation of southern-style favorites. Breakfast is served throughout the week with a special brunch menu on weekends. Try the cheddar jalapeno grits or an andouille sausage omelet.
If you have time to spare, take a stroll around downtown Bloomington after your meal and soak in the energy of this scenic college town.

Spring Mill State Park
Spring Mill State Park is a place where history meets the great outdoors. Begin at Pioneer Park, a collection of 20 structures left behind by early settlers, including a watermill powered by a natural spring. From there, wander over to Hamer Cave, a hiking trail where the spring feeds into a small pond. On the way out, stop by the Gus Grissom Memorial, which pays tribute to the Indiana native who became an astronaut and the second American in space. The Gemini 3 space capsule is on display.
An entrance fee covers access to everything in the park, including the Gus Grissom Memorial.
