June 1 is fast becoming THE date of 2020 to mark in your calendars. If your state isn’t already opening back up to business as usual (or, I should say, the new usual), then it seems like June could be your month to shine.
If you hadn’t realised, June 1 is next Monday. So it’s time to get planning, obviously.
For our own itineraries as much as anything, we’ve listed the best new things to do or enjoy now that our worlds are just a little bit larger.
