Hello Thursday! Chelsea here.

Sometimes, you just need a little peace and quiet. Here in Ohio, we have plenty of places where you can find both. But if you’re also looking to add in a little shopping, some incredible nature, and a bit of a jaunt through time, Ohio’s Amish Country should be on your list of places to visit. From beautiful resorts to rustic treehouses, you can make a whole weekend out of it, if you’d like. We’ve got all the details on what to see, where to go, where to stay, and what to check out while you’re visiting Amish Country.

🌶 The Best Places To Go In Columbus When You're Craving Nachos
I don’t know why this is the hill I’ve chosen to die on, but I just have to be honest with you: nachos are, hands down, the best appetizer you can order. Seriously, what’s not to love? They’re shareable, they’re customizable, and they can also double as your entire meal if you just want something filling, comforting, and delicious. Here’s where you can get the best nachos around town.
