Hello, Tuesday! Chelsea here.

Traveling internationally can have profound impacts on your worldview. For example, I was fortunate enough to travel to Europe in high school, which set off a lifelong obsession with castles, and that’s why we’re talking about one of the most stunning castles in Ohio this morning. We have quite a few castles here in Ohio but I have to say, this Tudor-inspired gem is in a league of its own. The grounds are breathtaking, the castle is beautiful, and you don’t even have to leave Ohio to experience it all!

😍 The Best Things To Do At Mohican State Park
If spending the day floating down a gorgeous river (with the possibility of seeing a Sasquatch, sort of) sounds like a great day to you, then I’ve got the perfect destination. Mohican State Park is a nature lovers paradise. If hopping in the river isn’t for you, don’t worry… there’s so much to do and it’s all set against the backdrop of one of the most beautiful regions in the entire state.

🎢 Lost Amusement Parks Of Columbus: Olentangy Park
It’s hard to imagine what Clintonville would be like today if this place still existed and I feel genuinely sad that I never got to experience it. It’s just hard to imagine hopping on a roller coaster or paddling in a romantic rowboat right in the heart of Clintonville.
