11 Relaxing Weekend Getaways In Hocking Hills With Hot Tubs 😍
Sponsored by Decorative Arts Center of Ohio and their new exhibit Russian Decorative Arts from the Tsars to the USSR. From decades of collecting Russian decorative arts, commissioning works from USSR artists, and exploring Russia's vast territories, curator Michael Reese takes us on a visual journey through Russian history from the time of the tsars to the fall of the USSR. The exhibition paints a clear decorative picture of what it was like to live in Russia during those tumultuous times. Featured objects tell stories of wealth and poverty, political struggle, fashion, and religion. Click here for more details! 🇷🇺
Happy Thursday! Chelsea here.
I want to start off by apologizing for a mix up we had yesterday. If you clicked the link to check out 5 Magical Winter Hikes Around Columbus yesterday, you probably realized pretty quickly that it took you to a different story.
. Thank you to everyone who emailed us to let us know. We appreciate you! Now that we've got that out of the way, let's all plan a weekend getaway to Hocking Hills. Hot tubs are calling...

I've always found ice sculptures to be so fascinating. Ice carving and sculpting have been around for a very long time (I'm talking thousands of years) and when I say the people carving these gorgeous displays are masters of their craft, I mean it. This is going to be very cool... pun intended.

I absolutely loved growing up in Columbus in the 1990s. If you'd like to read an extremely related listicle full of nostalgia, you've come to the right place. Shout out to all my fellow 90s kids!

I don't often think of Ohio as being big sky country, but it does change the equation when you get up in the air a bit. Sunrises and sunsets have been beautiful on the rare occasions recently when it hasn't been overcast. 🌤
