Life is full of little adventures. Many of our favorite memories are when our Dad came to us and said “Let’s go”, and even if it was just a quick trip to the hardware store, the mailbox, or a planned family vacation, to you it was a grand adventure with your Dad. This Father’s Day, celebrate the man in your life who showed you that adventures truly begin with love—let’s go.

 

• Strengthen your bond and go workout together

A lot of us have been working from home still or putting in more hours, so this Father’s Day be active with the Dad in your life. No need for competition, staying active is good for the soul and so is the quality time together. Either go for a run outdoors, plan a garage workout at home, or hit up a local gym to try something new. 

Shop below for gifts he can use during the workout and will end up loving. 

 

• Grab your gear and go on a unique outdoor adventure

Does the Dad in your life enjoy exploring the outdoors in his off time? If so, plan an outdoor adventure that he has yet to check off his bucket list. Alabama is filled with many unique adventures and places to explore, from caves to waterfalls and in between. Surprise him with an off-grid ‘glamping’ adventure in a 1966 UNIMOG vehicle with Case Rock Eco-Retreat or a custom camper van decked out with all of the necessities from Gearbox Adventure Rentals.

 

Interested in a more primitive camping adventure? Plan your weekend around a hike he has been wanting to do or somewhere that you know has a great spot to hang a hammock and relax. We suggest a weekend getaway in the Sipsey Wilderness as there is so much to do and you choose where you want to set up camp. With over 25,000 acres, there is trout fishing, 45 miles of trails, and waterfalls. After all, it is called “The Land of 1,000 Waterfalls”.

• Go local and hit up the golf course + a brewery 

Looking to stay nearby this Father’s Day weekend but still wanting to plan something out of your normal weekend activities? Spend the day touring the city and being outdoors. Make a tee time at a new course and find a local lunch spot or brewery after for some much-needed grub and ice-cold beverage after a day on the green. This is definitely a “Dad day”.

• Go on a road trip and getaway to the lake or beach

This may be a common go-to trip in the summer for Alabamians but it is always a good time and who gets tired of being by the water when it is so hot out? Maybe this time go somewhere new or surprise him by planning all of the food and grilling. Once you’re packed up and hit that open road, the worries are gone and vacation has begun.

• Go spend quality time with him at home

If you don’t have the option of going on a full weekend getaway, plan some things around the house for the Dad in your life. Work on a new project together or help him tackle some of his to-do’s in the yard. Make sure he has the right tools and gear needed to scratch any project off his list. If he doesn’t, gift them to him and surprise him by helping out. End the day with an at-home cookout where he can sit back and relax and enjoy uninterrupted time with you and maybe enjoy a game of disc golf or cornhole.
