Weekend Getaway With A Fathers Day Celebration

After so many years of Fathers Day celebration plans, it's easy to run out of gift and activity ideas. There are only so many times you can go to a baseball game or go out to dinner. One way people are making Father's Day 2010 really special is to spend some time planning a surprise trip.

It's probably a good idea to let your dad know he has to pack a suitcase and that he'll need to keep the weekend free, at the very least. No one likes to be surprised that much!

If he needs a passport handy, then you'd better make sure he has one of those too. There are a number of ideal destinations that will foster greater father-child bonding and will get across the Father's Day message that dad is #1 in your life.

MSNBC recommends spending your Fathers Day celebration in Napa Valley at the Meadowood wine estate, where you can sample Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon with master sommelier Gilles de Chambure.

He'll accompany you and dad to several other local wine appointments, where you'll have a picnic lunch and learn all about Northern California's gems. At night, you'll enjoy a four-course dinner with specially selected wine pairings at the estate's top-rated restaurant.

A one-night stay, including all your transportation, meals and wine tasting events can cost between $2,240 and $3,070. For more information on getaway packages call 1-800-458-8080.

Hiking, white water rafting and camping Fathers Day celebration travel is an ideal fit for active dads, says Brandon Lake, VP of Western River Expeditions. His Southwest tour company offers multi-day packages in Utah, Idaho, the Grand Canyon and Colorado that include four days of rustic accommodations and Father's Day activities like rafting, off-road safaris in bio-diesel hummers that start at $575/person.

You can hike through lush forests with hot springs and waterfalls, visit ghost towns and historic villages, horseback ride or take a helicopter ride through the Grand Canyon, or enjoy a quiet paddleboat ride.
