If you decide to go to central Ohio, meaning the Columbus area, I would say the Short North if you're into art/upbeat things. Or if you're not into the 'big city' feel I would recommend Easton Town Center. Huge mall and TONS of restuarants around there, little less of a big city. If you want outdoors stuff I would also recommend Hocking Hills or Old Mans Cave. If you're into motorcycles there's the motorcycle museum. If you're into science stuff you could go to COSI. There's also the Columbus Zoo, Zoombezi Bay, etc. That's all I can think of right now
