Father's Day: Tributes To Dad And Where To Take Him

BIRMINGHAM, AL - This Father's Day, June 17, what do you give the dad who seems to have everything? Experiences, of course. Several Birmingham attractions and restaurants are featuring special promotions for Father's Day weekend, with plenty to do if you are looking for it.

And whether your father is "Dad," "Daddy," "Pops" or "Papa," biological, stepdad or grandfather, the male figures in our lives help shape our lives. So here is a shoutout to two dads whose photos were provided to Patch for Father's Day.

And Happy Father's Day to all the dads, stepdads and grandpas, from Patch!
