Let’s Celebrate DAD! 

Father’s Day is a special day to show our appreciation for all the hard work and love that fathers give to their families. Celebrating Father’s Day through travel is a great way to create lasting memories and strengthen a family bond.   Better than a tie or a coffee mug with “Best Dad” … Just saying.

There are plenty of Father’s Day getaway ideas to choose from across the globe!  Some last-minute weekend getaway ideas are fishing, golfing, camping, a brewery tour, adventure in nature, or how about a massage?   For a father-daughter trip, consider a spa day or nice lunch or dinner with Dad.  

HERE ARE A FEW FUN IDEAS FOR A FATHER’S DAY GETAWAY OR A PLANNED ADVENTURE WITH DAD! 

Fly Fishing

For the dad who loves to fish…Book a rustic vacation by the bend of a river. Eastern Idaho rests along the south fork of Snake River, the largest North American river that empties into the Pacific Ocean. It’s also one of the best places in the US for tailwater and dry fly fisheries.  Also, two of my favorite states are Florida to catch mahi mahi or marlin & Sitka, Alaska, for salmon or halibut.

River Tubing

River tubing is a great way to chill and literary cool off during the summer. Some of the best destinations for river tubing include the Guadalupe River, the Delaware River, and the Ichetucknee River.

US National Parks

Blessed to have more than 400 sprawling National Parks in the United States.   A great idea is to visit one of the 10 oldest National Parks in the United States.  Guess what the oldest park is…It’s Yellowstone National Park, located mainly in Wyoming, but a must-visit in your lifetime.  Yellowstone is home to diverse fauna and flora, including over 1,700 species of trees and almost 60 species of mammals. 

Spa- my favorite 😉 + Golfing

A spa trip is a great way to relax and unwind with your dad.  After all, it’s not just for Moms.  Some of the best spa destinations include Sedona, Arizona, and Napa Valley, California, for spa properties.  If your dad is a golfer, too, then Arizona is the sweet spot for both.  Arizona is home to more than 300 high-caliber golf courses, most located in the Scottsdale and Phoenix areas.  For a luxurious golfing + spa experience, the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess Resort is one of the best, with two 18-hole championship golf courses plus a state-of-the-art spa!  WIN, WIN! 

Museum

If your dad is a car enthusiast, head to Bowling Green (driving distance from Nashville, TN) Kentucky which is home to the National Corvette Museum, with more than 70 Corvettes on display.  Vroom Vroom!

How about the Henry Ford Museum located in Dearborn, Michigan? Experience one of the largest collections, including the presidential limousine of John F. Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln’s chair from Ford’s Theatre, Thomas Edison’s laboratory, the Wright Brothers’ bicycle shop, & the Rosa Parks bus. 

Brewery Tours or RUM

Colorado Springs is famous for its delectable brewery scene and is home to more than 20 craft breweries, from independent family-owned ones to renowned businesses with more than 25 years of history, including the Phantom Canyon Brewing Company and Red Leg Brewing Company.

Currently, there are 27 breweries that either call Milwaukee home, have a brewery in Milwaukee, or have a Milwaukee taproom.  For nearly two centuries, Miller Brewing Company, Pabst Brewing Company, and Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company all claimed Milwaukee as home.

For the father who loves rum, why not the Zemi Beach House Resort and Spa to impress your father?  Dad can relax in the Rhum Room, tasting more than 100 small-batch, single-estate rums.  

Baseball Tours

For the baseball-loving dad… Take him out to the ballpark. Enjoy a tour of classic Yankee Stadium or take your pick from among more of baseball’s great stadiums.   The Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, is a must-visit for any baseball fan.  

Whatever you choose to do for your father on Dad’s Day, enjoy the precious time you have with him and soak up the memories!
