🚗 9 Awesome Weekend Trips For You And Your Squad

Raggin’ On: The Art of Aminah Robinson

Sponsored by Columbus Museum of Art and their exhibit Raggin’ On: The Art of Aminah Robinson’s House and Journals, the first major exhibition of the artist’s work since her death and a celebration of Robinson’s work, vision and the home, and the Poindexter Village neighborhood she cherished. There's so much amazing art in this exhibit that it's difficult to sum up - go here for more info and take a visit. 🎨🎨

Happy Wednesday! Chelsea here.

Columbus is the perfect starting off point for so many fantastic road trips. As more and more people get vaccinated, I find myself planning adventures left and right. I can't wait to get out there, spend some quality time with friends, and experiences some new places that aren't my home or the grocery store. Travel safely and make sure you're still wearing a mask, washing your hands frequently, and practicing physical distancing. I can't wait to hear about all of your adventures, and to share a few of mine once I'm vaccinated.

While the increase in cases is not anywhere near our peak days in the winter, any increase at all is cause for concern. I know we're all tired but we can't give up now. We're so close to making it to the other side of this thing.

Summer camps around the city have worked hard to host safe in-person and virtual camps for kids this summer. It's been a weird year and particularly tough one on children, so it's nice that there are some normal summer camp experiences out there waiting for them.

Today's Photo 🤳

I promise we'll eventually have some daily photos that aren't "Spring In Columbus" but right now I still need all of this injected straight into my veins. This is a good example of why I'm always saying German Village is the place to be in a Columbus spring. 🌸
