At this point, most of us have hit our ceiling for how much longer we can stay inside the house during the pandemic. Thankfully, as many states have begun to open up again (with restrictions), some of our favorite summer hangouts have also implemented rules and regulations in order to safely hang out with friends and loved ones.
