Ideas for unscheduled or drop-in activities?

Hi ladies,
New SAHM mom here. My DS is now 4.5 months old. I'm looking to start getting out of the house a little more, for my own sanity and to expose DS to new things. We're still figuring out our routine and naps - things change every week it seems. I'm trying to find some activities to do or places to go that will be more flexible with DS's changing schedule. It's hard to commit to things (mom groups, mom and baby fitness classes, etc.) when he sleeps so much right now. I usually only have a 1.5 - 2 hour window when he's awake. What kinds of things did you do with your little one at this age to get out of the house and meet people?
I'm thinking drop-in or unstructured type activities would be best. Any ideas, tips, or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Re: Ideas for unscheduled or drop-in activities?
Really, at that point, we didn't do much. I was actually still working then but unless we went somewhere to walk around or something, there wasn't much else to do. Young like that is hard because they aren't walking so any sort of play area is out, the couldn't care less about a story time type thing.
My suggestion would be to get out and go on walks or walk around the mall or something. You may not meet many people that way (that will come later) but it will at least get you out.
