Vacation planning during COVID-19

We’re about to take a family vacation time at our household. As we look to have some downtime with our family I liked into what we could do from a practical perspective with a 4 year old and 2 year old at home. The results were… not plentiful.

It made me think of the differences between house-arrest and attempting to vacation during COVID-19. The short answer is that House Arrest may, in some cases, offer more options.

Activity	House Arrest	Vacation During COVID-19 *
Attend Work	✅	❌
Attend School	✅	❌
Religious Worship	✅	❌
Medical Appointments	✅	❌
Going to a Bar	❌	❌
Going to a Playground	❌	❌

* Yes - some of these it’s possible that we can now go during Stage-2 lock down; however, I took a practical lens on would I do this with two little kids in tow.

Any practical (or frankly even impractical) suggestions are welcome.
