Celebrating Fathers Day @ The Beach

Even though most Dads like to sit around and do nothing on Fathers Day, there are a few cool things happening in the DE/MD resort towns this weekend that may appeal to those who like to actually get out and do things.

In Ocean City, it is the OC Air Show weekend.  This is one of the coolest things that I have seen since buying my house in OC.  Seriously.  While you can probably see planes all over the island that day, the best seats in the house are definitely at or near the inlet and boardwalk.  Despite the recent  Airforce Thunderbird crash, they are still on the schedule for the OC show.  Taking your Dad to this amazing event would be a truly memorable Fathers Day gift.

After the air show, head over to the bay side of Ocean City, and catch a sunset ride on a horse drawn carriage.  Rides are $10 and leave from Da Lazy Lizard on 1st St.  They take you on a 1 mile loop along the bay to see the sun set and smell the wonderful smells of fish and horses.

If your Dad once wore skinny ties and parachute pants, he may enjoy going to hear 80s cover band,  The Chest Pains at the Longboard Cafe on Saturday night.  Show starts at 8 PM.  I checked out their menu and it looks a bit yummy.  I might actually have to go to this (with or without the old man).

If your Dad once wore flannel shirts with the sleeves cut off, 90s cover band, Bayside Tigers are playing at the Bottle and Cork in Dewey Beach on Friday, June 17.  Tickets are $10.

If your Dad is still wearing his flannel shirts with the sleeves cut off when he's not working at the bank, he will probably enjoy the modern country sounds of  Philbilly at the bandstand in Bethany Beach 7:30 on Saturday June 18.  

Whatever your Dad is into, I'm sure that you can find something fun to do with him this coming weekend.  

Or, maybe, just leave him the hell alone.  That's probably what he really wants.

Happy Father's Day to all you "Mer-men" out there!
