Father’s Day is just around the corner and people everywhere are busy brainstorming for a gift to give their dad’s on this special day. It can be daunting to find the perfect gift to give to the man that has supported you through everything.If your dad is a golf enthusiast, one of the many local golf courses would be the perfect setting for one-on-one time with the man of the day. He will appreciate you showing interest in one of his hobbies; especially after all of the soccer games and recitals he has attended for you. Once you have worked up an appetite, grab lunch after the round.

This setting will give you a chance to bond with your dad while enjoying the great outdoors. Or make a weekend of it and drive up to Shaver Lake where you can rent a boat, soak up the sun, and catch fish with your favorite guy.
If the temperatures are too high, nothing is better than heading to a movie theatre to enjoy tasty popcorn and an action packed film with your dad. Take in the cooler surroundings and check out Captain America: Winter Soldier with the man that has always been your hero!
