Visiting The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo In Cleveland, OH
When we hit Ohio for the road trip *officially* in 2018, we knew we'd missed a ton since we spent most of our time with friends. There's so much to see and do in Ohio that is unexpectedly cool.

Visiting The Sedgwick County Zoo In Wichita, Kansas
Social distancing at the zoo, as it turns out, is an excellent idea. Things in Kansas are much more open than they were in Colorado.
