The Last few places we visited were the Audubon Society, Schmidt’s Fudge Haus, and Schiller Park. At the Audubon, we visited the obstacle course and climbed all over the monkey bars and wooden beams trying to get a good picture and just having a fun time goofing around. I definitely want to go back there because I think it would be a great resource to help get in shape and would be very fun to go through with friends! After that we went to Schmidt’s Fudge Haus which was awesome. There was a lot of fudge and chocolate, but a lot of cool merchandise as well. After a few minutes looking around and figuring out what to buy, we all checked out. When it was my turn, the guy rung me up and accidentally rung something up twice perhaps because the total was way more than it should have been so then he was trying to fix it. My total was $11.54 so I got $10 out an asked for the rest on my card and he said “Let’s just make it an even $10”. I was surprised and tried to give him the card but he said no, that he had already made me wait so long while he’s tried to figure out my total. It was so nice and something that’s so nice about little private owned shops because they do small things like that and are so friendly that they just make your day. Last on our list was Schiller Park. This park was so pretty with dogs all around playing with each other and the sun made everything so beautiful, especially this amazing little island that had an adorable tilting willow tree that looked so picturesque. I was very jealous when we were walking back to the car because there was a girl lying in the sun in the grass reading a book and it looked like a really good time. Both Schmidt’s and Schiller Park are places I would recommend for people to visit, especially because they get you to go down and just see German Village which is beautiful in and of itself.

              My favorite experience has to be when we visited the book loft. That place it so adorable and just the atmosphere there is so calming and relaxing. It would be a great place to go for a break from studying for finals. It was also fun going there with friends and looking through all the books, especially the kid’s books because it was so nostalgic and made you think of your childhood and how stress free it was! I learned that I need to explore my city more because from what I have explored so far, it has so many little gems hidden here and there are must-sees. From watching the documentary on German Village, I learned that the Germans were one of the largest ethnic groups fighting for the Union and that Ohio was one of three of the largest providers of German born soldiers, one of the ways they gained acceptance into society in Columbus. For someone else trying to complete this to do list, I would strongly encourage them to go with friends because it makes the experience ten times better than if you were to do it alone. I would also recommend to visit it during the day when it’s nice out because you can really appreciate the skill and the beauty of everything it has to offer.
