Any local vacation spots that are worth checking out (and easy to practice social distancing)?Thanks!

You might want to consider a picnic at the beach. But don't venture too far into the water if you go to New Smyna Beach, it boasts the most shark attacks along the eastern sea board (and I doubt that the sharks pay attention to town line markers...so I'd be careful at any beach around here)

There are various local city and state parks that also offer picnic tables

If the Lake Ridge Winery resumes their outdoor concerts that's another option...you bring your own chairs, sit outside and can easily do the social distancing thing

currently our biggest adventure seems to be going to fetch the mail and going to the grocery store....although we have dentist appointments next week so that will add some
well needed variety to our lives lol

We pretty much have an open 'dance card' after backing away from an Alaskan cruise, scuttling a visit north to see family and scrubbing a late summer trip to Ireland/Scotland...
