Whether father and son or father and daughter, these vacation ideas with Dad are guaranteed to be a whole lot of fun. Call your dad and start planning now!
Growing up, he was your hero. Now that you're friends as well as family, take off on a trip filled with action-packed adventure. Go zip-lining in Nicaragua, whitewater-rafting in Idaho, ATV-riding in Utah, or hike and horseback-ride in Wyoming. The Lodge & Spa at Brush Creek Ranch is even offering a special Father's Day Wyoming Wilderness Getaway with a menu of activities (fly-fishing, shooting, mountain-biking, etc.), massage services, and gourmet meals, including a camp cookout with a whiskey and cigar bar.

OK, maybe a little bit of both. It all depends on Dad's (and your) energy level. Escape to Hawaii, the Caribbean, or simply a nearby beach. No matter if you're novices or hang ten all the time, trying something new is a great way to bond. And so is lounging in beach chairs, with a cold drink in hand.

Buy some tickets (and peanuts and Cracker Jacks), gas up the car, and take off on a baseball road trip—or for that matter, any kind of sport he's into. Start out close to home, whether that's Wrigley Field or Yankee Stadium, and catch as many major league games as you can. Plan some on-theme pit stops, like the Chicago Baseball Museum or the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, NY.
Both history buffs? Then go learn something together. Travel to his side's country of origin, or go to a historically rich city a little closer to home: Washington, D.C. is an obvious but great choice for museums and landmarks galore.
