Dunno if you're from around here, but DC summers feature 95°, 95% humidity, and intense sun from 10am–5pm. It's more pleasant outside in the winter than the summer here.
Ha. I actually love hot weather. We do playgrounds in the am, and spend a lot of time at the pool. I would be up for a waterpark too once parents are vaccinated.

Udvar-Hazy is about to reopen. It's huge and they're doing timed tickets.

Once adults in your child's circle are vaccinated, especially high risk ones, let your kid live life. Be respectful of course, but live life.
OP's asking where to take her kid indoors. She's asking how to help her kid "live life". Given that her kid doesn't drive, or know what options are out there, OP is going to have to choose where they'll go, so asking for ideas seems like a good idea.

I have started to do this at my local store and we are in and out in 20 min or less and i go with a small list and whizz by. Its not crowded and she keeps her mask on.
Shopping cart is so dirty, and I don’t think you can wipe down clean with sanitizing wipes.
Yes you can - I used to! But we now know that surface transmission is not a concern, so I stopped. Just go to the store.

NP. The employees at the Target near us don't ever wear their masks properly.
