I'm a last minute planner. If you are too and you've just hit the panic button when you realized it is Father's Day tomorrow, here are a few suggestions.
There are still some tickets left to see the Mariners vs. the Arizona Diamondbacks play tomorrow. And the Mariners are offering a special Dad's day special with free Felix caps for the kids and an opportunity for the kids to run the bases after the game. The key to budget travel is to plan onward. When it happens to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new places we have never been before, the truth of cost and budgeting is always in the back of our minds. Arranging and spending our travel budget carefully is a concern for most families. Lowering expending and expenses, while still enjoying your vacation to its fullest, is the key to guaranteed success and fiscal liability. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning behind saving money while traveling is simple: Even if your personal finances is extremely limited, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also remembering that while traveling, whether on a resources or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel bill!. Go here.
Kristy S-Y, Seattle Parenting Examiner has info on some great Father's Day promotions, including the opportunity for dads to visit the Museum of Flight for free on Father's Day.
If you want to get out of town, jump in the car and head south to Portland where Hotel deluxe still has availability for its Pampering Pops package. The package includes an in-room massage for two, $25 food and beverage credit, complimentary valet parking, a 6-pack of local microbrews, and a brew-ha map featuring area microbrews. Sunday, head a few miles south to Tigard and catch the Festival of Balloons where more than 30 hot-air balloons will take to the sky in the festival featuring BBQ, a beer garden, family fun carnival, and live music.
If dinner out is what Dad would enjoy, check out some of these specials:
