Well, I'm not single, but I sure know about wild kiddos.
Is it possible she's just got a really bad case of cabin fever? Can you find something to do that gets you out of the house, but not around people?
Geocaching comes to mind. It costs a bit to get started, but almost nothing after that. Gets you out walking in places with not many people and kids love to go on 'treasure hunts' My UK friend and I have taken his kids out on hunts and they love it.
The idea is to use a gps to find a 'treasure' The coordinates are posted on http://www.geocaching.com (it's world wide) and you use the gps to find the cache (it's not as easy as it sounds) You are allowed to take something from it, if you leave something. The things are of the trinket level.
NOTE TO DR. BOB: I'm not pushing any products here....
Anyway, this is just one way to get out without facing crowds. You might come up with some others.
