Therefore, we are offering you some entertainment options – a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Go for it!

If out of this world is not your thing, you can try staying on the ground and watch the livecams from Explore.org. They have 65 camera streams allowing you to experience nature up close.
How about a family Zoom cooking class? The recipe can be sent to everyone, groceries get purchased and the family member in charge of the class can talk everyone through the recipe, so each house makes their own food. It is a wonderful interaction of cooking, learning, laughter and of course eating. Wonderful camaraderie among family and friends.
Miss going to that favorite Pub. Try a Zoom Pub Crawl in your own home. Each room can have a different décor and drink to compliment!
