Father's Day

It’s All About Dad in June at Waterford Crossings

No matter what you call your father—baba or tata, papa or pita, daddy or dad—it’s all about him come Father’s Day!

So the Waterford Crossings team in Nashville, Tennessee, asked * the Idea Specialists™ * for some ways to show the father figures in our lives a little extra love on Sunday, June 15, this year.  First on the list? An ice cream outing!

 

Fun For The Entire Family

Going out for frozen treats is a way the entire gang can celebrate the occasion. And where better than The Legendairy Milkshake Bar on 3rd Avenue North in Nashville, where they believe artistry and tastiness go hand in hand—and their incredible shakes are served in delightful 16-ounce jars that you can buy as souvenirs! The Idea Specialists™ swear by The Proof Is In The Puddin’—a “peel good” shake made with Banana Pudding ice cream, a vanilla icing rim rolled in crushed Nilla Wafer cookies, caramel sauce, vanilla whipped cream, and one large graham cracker holding homemade banana pudding. And of course we have to mention Sippin’ Pretty In Music City, which comes complete with a cowboy hat! Oh my goodness at the decadent options!

Plus,  they offer Pup Cups for your furry friends, which means a lot to us because Waterford Crossings is an extremely pet-friendly upscale apartment home community!

Guilt-Free Golf

Guilt free golfFor some dads, the best gift would be time spent with them watching the U.S. Open Golf Championship, the final round of which is traditionally played on the third Sunday in June (always falling on Father’s Day). Pile up on the couch in your comfy Waterford Crossings living room and turn the TV to NBC or the Golf Channel to see if PGA Championship winner Scottie Scheffler walks away with another one.

In keeping with the golf theme, the Idea Specialists™ can vouch that Golfballs.com does a great job on customized balls, tees, and towels, with excellent customer service and a fast turnaround time.

Named after James “Jimmy” William Buffet, the eatery features timeless Southern-inspired dishes and hand-crafted Tennessee libations. From soul food to fine-dining favorites to coastal cravings, if you want it, chances are it’s on the menu. (And yes, of course you can get a margarita!)

Did You Know?

According to History.com, the nation’s first Father’s Day was celebrated June 19, 1910, in the state of Washington. But it wasn’t until 1972—58 years after President Woodrow Wilson made Mother’s Day official—that the day honoring fathers became a nationwide holiday in the United States. That’s when then-President Richard Nixon signed a proclamation making it so. Economists estimate that Americans now spend more than $1 billion each year on Father’s Day gifts.
