Father’s Day, that annual event when we all ask the same question – what, if anything, will we get for Dad? All dads, every one of them, have as much stuff as they’ll ever need. Sure, BBQ tools need to be replaced once in a while, but the dad in your life does not need another flask. no, not even a super-cute one. What he really wants is a memorable day with the people he loves most. Right? OK then, let’s plan it. Click the images below to connect to the retailer.
First Dress Him for the occasion. This is going to be a casual day at the lake, so Dad will need the right ensemble. Start with the shorts and work from there. The code word is MADRAS
I know what you’re thinking but, YES, your guy can pull this off. Let’s work up to the perfect polo. You can’t go wrong with a classic like this. Play it safe and stick with navy or dark green.
On to finishing touches. To ward off the evening chill on the lake, this cardigan, and again, yes, he can pull it off.
Finally, the accessories to bring it all together. Just three.
Now that he’s properly dressed, here are some great options for enjoying the day:
Charter a Sailboat for the day and cruise Lake Michigan
Take a history-steeped boat tour of Geneva Lake with Gage Marine
Visit Hyde Park and tour Frank Lloyd Wright’s Robie House
Explore our National Lakeshores and see the natural wonders of our region up close
At the end of the day, dad can relax in an Adirondack chair with a great book that will inspire him to enjoy many more days like this one. And that’s a Father’s Day well done.
Happiest Father’s Day to all the special dads out there! You are loved!
