Hello, Tuesday! Chelsea here.

If you spent any of your formative years in Central Ohio, there’s a decent chance that you went on at least one of a handful of different field trips. While some were historical or science-based, other field trips were purely for enjoyment (looking at you Kings Island). Please feel free to hit reply and share whatever nostalgic stories pop into your mind after you take this little stroll down memory lane. Also, it doesn’t matter, but just in case anyone was wondering where I stand in the age-old Camp Joy vs. Camp Willson debate, I’m on team Camp Willson all the way!
