4 great ideas for a Father's Day getaway

If you have a father that enjoys travel or needs a vacation, one of the best gifts a dad can receive for Father's Day is a trip with his family.

One of the best ways to enjoy Father's Day in the outdoors is to go camping.

• Do some research about camping destinations nearby, then pack up a tent, tarp, sleeping bags and food supplies.
• Enjoy a weekend away in the peace and quiet of nature, or include fun outdoor activities like fishing, hiking and roasting marshmallows over a campfire.

Lots of dads love to fish, so why not plan a trip to enjoy this activity with dad?

• Do some research about the best rivers and lakes for fishing, then book a trip to the area.
• Make sure you have the proper fishing permits and equipment, then surprise dad with the plans.
• Find a nice motel or hotel nearby, and the family can enjoy multiple days of fishing and soaking up the sun.

If your dad's the kind of dad that enjoys golfing, consider a golf vacation for Father's Day this year.

• Look up some of the best courses in your area, then reserve a tee time for your dad.
• Consider inviting some of your dad's golfing buddies along.
• Many popular golf areas have lots of hotels that offer joint room and golf packages, or discounts for a more budget-friendly option.

Throughout the world, there are many areas that feature wine or whiskey trails — or routes that trace along an area that has many distilleries or vineyards that you can visit.

• Do some research about trails in your area, then load up the car and go enjoy the visits.
• Offer to be the designated driver so that dad can enjoy his visits, or consider renting a hired driver and a hotel nearby to enjoy the escape without worrying about how much you drink.

Take a little time to plan a little getaway this Father's Day and make it a wonderful weekend celebrating Dad.
