Taking in river views during a socially distanced hike
1. If you’re looking to get out for a weekend hike, which is still permitted during social distancing, get some ideas for walks in the woods — the post has been updated a bit to include COVID-19 info, plus the addition of two places we’ve been to recently. It doesn’t hurst to call ahead to confirm locations can still be accessed, and I should say that it is best to stay at home as much as possible, but if you do go for a hike, be sure to practice safe social distancing, avoid touching things, and wash hands after.
2. Did you know that Badlands, the amazing playspace for kids in Rockville, has pivoted during this time to become a P.I.P (Pull-In Pantry)? And they have more than just food and supplies — you can also get batch cocktails to-go, Lego kits, a Mother’s Day DIY collection (which is only a couple weeks away), and Badlands Birthday Baskets! It’s open Thursday – Sunday 12-6pm, and you can place an order and schedule a stop here.
3. Heads up! Today around 12:15pm, there apparently will be an aerial flyover of hospitals in several cities, including DC and Baltimore, as a tribute to healthcare workers. Aircraft will include US Air Force Thunderbirds and US Navy Blue Angels.
4. In case you missed it yesterday, there’s a new giveaway going on (the first one in awhile!) for a chance to win a 10-pack of classes from Flex Academies ONE, a provider of after school enrichment that has gone virtual in response to COVID-19. It’s only running through the weekend, so be sure to enter soon!
5. Mark your calendar for next Thursday, April 30, at 8:30pm!
