Time to rejoice, mamas–your homeschool teaching days are over, and this weekend is the first official day of summer and Father’s Day. While New Jersey is slowly opening, you can have socially-distanced family fun by getting out or staying in (after all, we’re still in the midst of a pandemic). Enjoy a movie under the stars at Free Family Movie Night Frozen 2 in Wildwood, celebrate dad with music at Bellview Winery, or jam in on Father’s Day with a special at-home performance by the Laurie Berkner Band.
