Five Things for Today: May 7, 2020

Social distancing on U.S. Capitol grounds


1. I can tell you how to get, how to get to the Sesame Street website. It’s full of fun online experiences — story times, art activities, sing-a-longs, and many more sweet ways to entertain young children.

2. At 1pm today, watch Thank You Thursdays with Mo Willems. Every week during the month of May, tune in to see who he will thank. And for a fun activity, all of his Lunch Doodles, the daily drawing program he hosted for three weeks, are archived on the Kennedy Center website.

3. You can view the Super Flower Moon tonight — the final supermoon of 2020. It was at its fullest last night, but should still be big and brilliant tonight.

4. As of today, more outdoor activities are allowed in Maryland, including golfing, fishing, camping, and tennis. State parks and beaches are also reopening — you can walk, run, and bike, but no chairs/blankets are allowed for hanging out and picnicking, etc. Social distance guidelines still must be followed.

5. If you miss going to restaurants right now, this might help. 😂

Mezcal drinks during pre-coronatimes in Mexico


1. How about a story time that’s out of this world — literally? Kids can enjoy Story Time from Space as astronauts read children’s books from the International Space Station.

2. Annmarie Sculpture Garden, the wonderful arts center in Calvert County, has an online hub for creative inspiration while the grounds and exhibits are closed. AMG@Home has ideas for art projects, nature activities, photo tours of the garden and galleries, virtual events, and more.

3. The Wharf’s annual Running of the Chihuahuas can’t happen at the riverfront location this year, so they’re hosting the event online. Join the virtual Cinco de Mayo celebration they present their favorite pups from Runnings past. Check out all the cute Chihuahuas and order a fiesta from one of your favorite Wharf restaurants for take out and delivery. You can also enter a giveaway for a chance to win a Pacifico prize pack. Ole!

4. How convenient that Cinco de Mayo falls on Taco Tuesday.

5. Another very important read for today.
