Hello Friday! Chelsea here.

The weekend is officially so close that you can almost reach out and touch it. We’ve just gotta get through today and then we’re free! If you need some help finding ways to pass the time today, I have a suggestion. What if you just spend a bit of time daydreaming about these amazing Ohio castles? Yes, you read that correctly! Ohio is home to some seriously impressive castles and you can even visit most of them. If you have a favorite castle here in the Buckeye State that’s not on the list, please hit reply and let me know. I kind of have a castle obsession at this point!
