Happy Friday! Chelsea here.

I never enjoy being the bearer of bad news, but let's just rip the bandaid off. Red, White & Boom has been canceled this year. I'm certain that communities surrounding Columbus will still be hosting fireworks events, but the biggest show in the midwest won't be happening... not in July anyway. Let's get into it and move onto some happier news, friends.

🌳 Jeffrey Mansion was donated to the city of Bexley in 1941 and the grounds have since become a beautiful park. The more than 40 acres include some very relaxing short walks like the one pictured above, and it's all bordered by Alum Creek. We loved it all enough to put it in our list of
