Hello Friday! Chelsea here.

Welcome to the weekend friends! I hope you’re all ready to have a good one because we’ve got great weather and tons to do around town. But before we get into that, we’ve got to talk about Europe. If a trip across the Atlantic isn’t in the budget right now, you could go somewhere a little closer to home. Good Housekeeping put together a list of American Towns that look like they’re straight out of Europe, and one of my favorite places in Ohio made the list. It’s so impressive to be ranked among iconic U.S. cities like St. Augustine, Charleston, and New Orleans and frankly, I’m so glad that people are finally starting to understand that Ohio is so much more than flat fields of corn and soybeans.

Take The Whole Family On A Whimsical Adventure To This Fairy Trail 🧚‍♂️
I’m sure that there were fairy trails somewhere out there when I was a kid, but I never got to experience one until I was an adult. I know that my younger self, who was obsessed with all things fantasy, would have been totally enamored by one of these trails.
