The Earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. –Psalm 24:1
My wife recently attended a two-day blogging conference. While at the conference, I spent the days with the children.
Our family has long had a tradition of Daddy Destinations. A Daddy Destination is a trip to some unannounced place that I have chosen. These trips are usually a surprise.
On a Friday afternoon, I gathered some items together and put them in the back of the van. A tablecloth, several bottles of water, paper plates, plastic cups, and forks. I gathered the children together and told them that we were going to get some supper.
After a stop at the KFC drive-thru for dinner, we drove to a park. This park is a peaceful tract of wilderness just ten minutes from home. We set a picnic table, and the adventure began…
I’m at Passionate Purposeful Parenting, sharing our latest Daddy Destination.

Oh, I love it! My daughter and my husband have “Daddy Days,” very similar! Today is one, in fact. They went to a park very much like yours, took a walk and sent me a picture of themselves lakeside. I work from home, so these days help me get stuff done and help my daughter get to see more of Dad, who works outside the home in a pretty time-demanding job! You are an awesome dad – just like my husband. 🙂
