It’s been a doozie of a week, and we could all use a breather and some quality time with our families. We’ve listed our favorite ways to do that below, and whether you want to stay close to home or venture out into the community, we hope you do so safely and that you wear a mask when you can’t distance yourself from strangers. It doesn’t protect you but it might protect them and that’s protecting all of us.

Weekend Fun (at a safe distance)
