Happy Monday! Chelsea here.

It's May, my friends. I really can't believe how quickly this year is going by, but I'm not going to complain about how tantalizingly close we are to summer. If you're hoping to enjoy spring, I'd say get out there while you can. Before we know it, it will be hot and muggy and we'll be longing for perfect spring days filled with wildflowers and scenic views. I've taken a lot of gorgeous strolls around Columbus through the years, but let me tell you, Inniswood Metro Gardens take the cake. This park is especially worth a visit if it's been a little rainy, because the pathways are almost entirely paved!

I'm truly obsessed with the fact that this majestic creature is called Brian. His face in that photo tells me he is a no-nonsense kind of rhino, and that only makes me love him more.

I love when local spots get hyped, and getting featured in a twenty one pilots video that already has over 3 million views should definitely count as hype.
