Sports, cigars, barbecue and \u201cnot another tie\u201d seem to be the trending words and phrases of enticement to get dad out and about this Father\u2019s Day. But why not try a couple less traditional ways of celebrating all that dad does for his kids (whether they\u2019re grown or still growing), such as going for a jog along Long Beach\u2019s seaside shore or stepping up and learning how to braid hair. You never know when your daughter might need a little help with that!<\/p>\n

See below for five ways to celebrate dad this weekend, from a three-course prix-fixe dinner in naples to a fun run along the beach, we\u2019ve got you covered.<\/p>\n
