A fabulously fun award-winning musical based on the adored movie, Legally Blonde The Musical, follows the transformation of Elle Woods as she tackles stereotypes and scandal in pursuit of her dreams. Elle appears to have it all, but her life is turned upside down when her boyfriend Warner dumps her so he can attend Harvard Law. Determined to get him back, Elle ingeniously charms her way into the prestigious law school. While there, she struggles with peers, professors, and her ex. With the support of some new friends, though, Elle quickly realizes her potential and sets out to prove herself to the world. Action-packed and exploding with memorable songs and dynamic dances - this musical is so much fun, it should be illegal! The show runs July 11-August 11, and you can get your tickets here.

🏡 From Cozy Comfort to Gorgeous Grounds: The Acres Cabin Has It All
The weather yesterday had me yearning for fall (yes I know, summer just started). But honestly, no matter what time of year you’re visiting The Acres in Hocking Hills, it’s going to be gorgeous. It’s hard to say what I loved most about this cabin… it’s a tie between the massive bed-sized outdoor swing and the outdoor shower. If you’re into relaxing in style, run don’t walk to this gorgeous getaway.
