Father’s Day ideas
Yes I know, it doesn’t seem fair. We had an entire Mother’s Day Guide. But it’s a fact of life: people just don’t go all out on Father’s Day like they do for Mother’s Day. Maybe it’s because, oh I dunno, while fathers are great, they didn’t CARRY an entire PERSON inside of their BODIES […]
Yes I know, it doesn’t seem fair. We had an entire Mother’s Day Guide. But it’s a fact of life: people just don’t go all out on Father’s Day like they do for Mother’s Day. Maybe it’s because, oh I dunno, while fathers are great, they didn’t CARRY an entire PERSON inside of their BODIES for almost a YEAR.
But aside from that, the baby-daddies do deserve a little love this Sunday. If you’re looking for something to do with the old man, here are a couple ideas to get you started…
- Father’s Day brunch: Bank (1005 E. Main Street, 804-648-3070) is serving between 11am to 3pm, Millie’s (2603 E. Main Street, 804-643-5512) from 9am to 3pm, and the Wyndham Virginia Crossings Hotel and Conference Center (1000 Virginia Center Parkway, 804-727-1480) from 11am to 3pm for all you West Enders.
- Get some fresh air: Try Father’s Day in the Garden at Lewis Ginter (1800 Lakeside Avenue, regular admission) from 1pm to 4pm.
- Celebrate with the Founding Fathers: For a change of pace from the typical activity, take your pops over to St. John’s Church (2401 E. Broad Street, 804-648-5015) to watch a reenactment of Patrick Henry’s speech at 1pm.
But of course, if none of these work for you, just go with the old standbys: beer, burgers, and more beer.
