Day trips for Dad this Father’s Day
Dads do a lot throughout the year, and Father’s Day is when they get their recognition for all the helping hands they’ve offered in the last year. While it was once commonplace to give Dad a necktie or another minor accessory for Father’s Day, many wives and children have begun to ensure Dad’s gift is a little more meaningful come his special day each June.

For those who want to think outside the box, how about you think outside the house as well? A day trip with Dad to a local attraction of note could be just what the doctor ordered to put a smile on Dad’s face this Father’s Day. The following ideas are just a few of the many day trips that Dad is sure to love this Father’s Day.
Celebrate dad with humorous and sincere Father’s Day quotations
* Take Dad out to the ball game. If Dad is a fan of America’s pastime, take him out to the ball game for a day of fun in the sun watching his favorite team. If there isn’t a local Major League team in the area, look for a minor league game instead. Minor league games are more intimate affairs, and Dad is sure to appreciate and cherish a day at the ballpark. Just don’t let Dad spend a dime all day!
As we honor the fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, and uncles in our lives, here are some inspirational and funny words to live by. “To be a successful father, there’s one absolute rule: when you have a kid, don’t look at it for the first two years.” -- Ernest Hemingway “Never raise your hand to your kids. It leaves your groin unprotected.” -- Red Buttons “By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he’s wrong.” -- Charles Wadsworth “I’m so ugly, my father carries around a picture of the kid who came with his wallet.” -- Rodney Dangerfield
* Hit the links. For the father who’s an avid golfer, nothing could be finer than a round of golf at his favorite course. Spend the afternoon hitting the links with Dad and then buy him a meal at the 19th hole.
An all-expenses paid afternoon at Dad’s favorite golf course makes an ideal day trip * Catch some fish. For the father who loves to fish, a getaway this Father’s Day. day at his favorite fishing hole could be a day of relax-
“Any man can be a father, but it takes a special person to be a dad.” -- Proverb
ation he’s sure to covet. Be sure to spend the day with Dad chatting about what’s been going on in his life and hopefully catch some fish along the way. And because there are no tickets to buy or greens fees to pay, give Dad that new fishing pole he wants.
“When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when Igot to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years.” -- Mark Twain.
* Go on tour. For the Dad who loves his wine, perhaps a wine tour could make for a great weekend getaway. Book some rooms at a nearby hotel and tour a few local vineyards, ending the night with a delicious dinner and, of course, a bottle of wine.
“A father is always making his baby into a little woman. And when she is woman he turns her back again.” -- Enid Bagnold
* Rock out! For the father who still loves to crank up his stereo, consider some concert tickets to see one of his favorite bands. Because Father’s Day falls during the warm weather season, consider an outdoor concert venue where everyone can sit under the stars and toast Dad as the music plays.
“One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters.” -- George Herbert “If the new American father feels bewildered and even defeated, let him take comfort from the fact that whatever he does in any fathering situation has a fifty percent chance of being right.” -- Bill Cosby “A father carries pictures where his money used to be.” -- Author unknown
* Run for the hills. If Dad is an avid outdoorsman, a camping trip or a hike through a nearby park is an ideal way to spend some quality time together away from the pressures of everyday life. Dad may appreciate getting away from it all, and the fresh mountain air can’t be matched when it comes to some R&R.
