Happy Wednesday! Chelsea here.

Or should I say Happy Summer Solstice! Today is the longest day of the year, and I'm pretty excited about it. My goal is to soak up as much of the sun as I can today, so I plan on spending every possible minute outside. There are a lot of great ways in Columbus to enjoy the day, but there are a handful of places that are totally worth ending the day. If you're looking for a beautiful sunset spot tonight, we've got you!
