What's your ideal Father's Day?

[yqtszhj]

For me, it's spending all day at the outdoor range (but not in this hot humid weather), by myself. If that makes me a crappy father then I plead guilty. I'm with the wife and kids every weekend already, can't I have a day off?

The girls are 5 and 15 - too young and too indoorsy to share my interests.

I like everything you said but I'd add sleep late (maybe until 9am) and have eggs, bacon, and pancakes for breakfast before heading to the range all alone.

I like to spend Father's Day with family. We don't spend the WHOLE day together so it's usually an afternoon followed by a Father's Day Dinner. I get some quality time with the grandkids.

I flew to San Diego to watch my son graduate Marine Basic. First time in 30 years. Reminded me how much I really don't like to fly.
I don't like to travel nekkid.
No restroom facilities on any commercial planes for derelicts.

Plus seldom a rental car or van that I can drive which means I'd have to rely on the wife to drive which can be scary in itself.

I remember that...hence the facetious question.

As some may know from previous comments, I was a 42 year, hard core commercial air travel road warrior. I want nothing to do with it any more unless it's unavoidable essential, and haven't been on one of them there flights since May 2014. We do Maine twice a year, a family reunion in PA at least every other year, plus other one-off travel. I drive, and wife flies 'cause she hates road trips if more than a day's ground travel. I'm a pre check qualified and grandfathered for life high end premium flyer with United Air Lines and I still won't do it. Fortunately for wife my credentials carry over to her as well and she seems to like the vip treatment.

Just hearing from my son would be nice but alas that just doesn't happen. Only calls when he wants something. I will spend the day with my wife and dog- my two best friends!

Sorry about that, nmkahrshooter. I got lucky, mine said "let's go out to the land and pop some caps". 2 hours of great time! Lucky me, for sure!

Very lucky indeed!
