Hello Wednesday! Chelsea here.

Good morning, friends. Somehow this week is halfway over. I don’t know who is in charge of how fast this summer is flying by, but if we could just slow it down a little bit, I’d appreciate it. I feel like I’ve barely had time to do any of the exploring I enjoy so much in the summer and I’ve decided that’s unacceptable. Life will always be busy, but sometimes you just have to go see a waterfall that empties onto a sandy beach at Lake Erie or hike to an awe-inspiring rock formation in Hocking Hills. Seriously, there are some gems on this list that you’ll definitely want to add to your summer to-do list!

How To Go To The Ohio State Fair For Cheap (Or For Free!) 💸
Speaking of the Ohio State Fair, it’s not always affordable to go to the fair. Luckily, there are some discounted days (and even some free days) when you can enjoy the fun of the fair for less money.
