Today, The Morning Thing kicked off a week of Summer Fun!
Each day, we will share different ways that you can enjoy this very special time of the year. We are already in the middle of July! Don’t let the days slip by without making some memories.
Today, Marcy shared 10 amazing places that you can go in Ohio on one tank of gas!
Check out the list HERE.
The website has a map that you can visit numerous stops on your journey. It is a total of 230 miles and only requires approximately 5 hours of drive time.
We think it would be fun to spread out these destinations into several day trips or weekend getaways.
