School is officially over and summer is finally here. Going back home for the summer means trying to find new things to do and not sitting in the house all day watching Netflix. I know living in central Ohio it feels like there's nothing to do and it's so boring. However, here is a list of actually really fun things to get out and do this summer:

1. Visit the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.

If you have never been to the Columbus Zoo you need to! It's so big and has so many amazing things. It's a must do this summer.

2. Go to Zoombezi Bay.

For those super hot summer days, go to Zoombezi Bay and cool down. The water park is also attached to the Columbus Zoo so you could see both in one day or make two trips.

3. Visit the Columbus Museum of Art.

This summer you should really check out the Columbus Museum of Art. It has a lot of art to view and so nice to walk around.

4. Go shopping at Easton Town Center.

Easton Town Center has so many shops to check out. There's also restaurants and movie theater if you don't feel like shopping. It's so beautiful and definitely worth the trip.

5. Visit COSI.

COSI will be a fun trip with younger kids in your life or even just your friends. This could be a great rainy day trip.

6. The Ohio State Fair.

Go out and visit the Ohio State Fair July 26 - August 6 2017.

7. Go camping at Mohican Adventures.

Head out to Mohican Adventures to go camping or basically any campground and enjoy time with your family or friends. Nothing beats sitting around the camp fire.

8. Visit Hocking Hills.
