There is no way for anyone to truly express their gratitude to the man who most shaped our lives, but Father’s Day is a great time to show appreciation. Here are some reasonably priced getaway gift ideas.
A lot of us have dads who taught us how to ride a bicycle. Just because you have grown up a little doesn’t mean that you can’t still enjoy a bike ride together. Raleigh and Schwinn make bikes for recreational riders of all ages, while Diamondback and Cannondale produce the racing variety that you see watching the Tour de France.
Everyone needs to get away for a few days, so why not Pop? Connecticut’s Mohegan Sun has great summer packages and it is home to the WNBA’s Connecticut Sun, as well as some of New England’s best fine dining establishments.
Atlantic City has been facing stiff gaming competition and deals can be had. The Taj Mahal, located at the north end of the world famous Boardwalk, has terrific restaurants, spas and nightlife. Even the chic Borgata is quietly offering discounts.
The Crystal Springs Resort in northwest New Jersey is a great place for Dad to play 18 holes of golf. Whether he comes in, under or over par, he can enjoy a massage afterwards at their renowned spa.
Crystal also has tennis courts, so don’t forget to take your Head racquet with you.
You can’t enjoy a vacation without having reliable luggage. Land's End’s Flight Time is perfect for long trips across the Atlantic or to the West Coast, while Helly Hansen’s 50L Duffel is ideal for long weekends.
