Apple Valley Lake is a pleasant, tony resort about an hour's drive from Columbus near Mount Vernon. Great for sailing and relaxing.I have never successfully and un-selfconsciously been able to use the adjective "tony", so for this achievement, I salute you.
I'm always confused by the different grammatical uses for Tony, Toni and Toné.

I'd actually head to Granville instead of Newark.

I could spend a day in Granville. Lots of cool old buildings, the alligator mound, good food at several places (and spots to get a drink), and its the home of Steve Carrell. Buxton Inn, the Short Story, Brews Cafe all worth a stop.Took your advice - just got back from Granville. It's a wonderfully quaint little town. The only downside was we asked a local where we should eat dinner and they recommended a place called Del Mar. The food was barely edible but pricey and the service was terrible. Other than that though, we had a great time.

we offered them the choice of ice cream from there or candy from "Grammas." They opted for candy.

Hyde Park in Cincinnati makes for a lovely day trip. Very urban, chic inner city neighborhood with eclectic, upscale shops and great restaurants with outdoor seating. The surrounding midrise apartment buildings and historic homes are an architect's delight.

Zanesville for pottery, also Blue Rock State Park nearby.
In addition to Yellow Springs, Clifton with the gorge and mill is nearby. Pancake mix, made from green energy no less, it's really a water-powered mill.
Looks like their website is down:
Take Rt. 161 west until it ends in a little town named Mutual, then keep going west to Urbana. It's a beautiful drive, especially if you know moraines and eskers when you see them. Cedar Bog is on Rt 68 south of town:
and Freshwater Farms is on 68 north of town, where else can you find a sturgeon petting zoo? You can buy fresh or smoked trout.

Make any big loop north and east through the Amish country. Tip: If the turds aren't flattened yet, the horse is not far ahead.

Malabar Farm is now a state park that attracts thousands of visitors each year, but the “Big House,” which is on the National Register of Historic Places, is in desperate need of repair.
