go to extremes for dad this FATHER'S DAY
by: TRACY RAY
What if, on Father’s Day, you presented dear ole dad with something exciting, thrilling or maybe even downright wacky? What if you took him off that beaten path of striped ties and (dare we say it) knee length socks? What would happen (now hang with us here) if you didn’t give padre cologne or boxer shorts this time around but instead gave him the time of his life?
However exciting boxer shorts and socks may be, we think it’s possible to outdo them. Here’s some over the top exciting gift ideas that are sure to blow those knee-highs right off! And the great thing is, each of these ideas can be presented in the form of a gift certificate and redeemed right here in Georgia! Our internet searches turned up options in our state for almost any extreme anything you might dream up. Here are just a few.
Thrill Seeker Gift Ideas:
Tandem Sky Dive For around $150 and with absolutely no diving experience, pop can go tandem with an experienced skydiver. One hour of instruction is included in the package along with one dive.
Sports Car Driving Experience Put Dad behind the wheel of an actual racecar on a racetrack and watch him fly at a speed he’s only dreamed about. Deals range from simple “ride-alongs” to a full-blown racing extravaganza! Prices vary depending on the experience from under $100 to $2,900.
Hot Air Balloon Ride North Georgia is beautiful from any angle, but imagine it from a hot air balloon! Father dear will enjoy approximately four hours of ballooning with packages priced in the $300 range.
White Water Rafting Send Dad rafting on the Chattahoochee! There are oodles of opportunities all over Georgia for those seeking the rumble of water by way of raft or kayak. Adventures range from $60 to $250.
Helicopter Rides Tours are done all over Georgia but wouldn’t it be great to see the sights from another view? Send Dad over the top, (literally) to places like Lake Lanier Islands, Chateau Elan, Amicalola Falls or downtown. Tour prices range from $150 per person to $300.
Mountain Biking and Cycling Tour For the more physically active father, you might consider a bike tour in the Blue Ridge Mountains or flatten the terrain out a little with a tour from Savannah to Charleston. Tours range in price from $2,000 to $3,500.
Give Dad an Extreme Experience this Father’s Day!
