DadSpa.com . . . pampering dads with what they really want!

Ok, the cat, I mean the bear, is out of the bag. I am a huge Chicago Bears fan.
Many of the latest updates include information related to Bears training camp.
This was not done to draw lines between fan groups, but to provide ideas for dad to take
some time with his child or children. Most training camps are free activities, so DadSpa.com encourages you to get the sunscreen, a Sharpie marker, and head out for some summer fun.
Get going! You'll have fun and your kids will love it, too!

Grilling season is never over! Especially in the Midwest! Many of the guys I know grill year round. Of course there are special considerations for grilling in the winter. I know it's only July, but if you thinking about getting that new Weber, go ahead, you will use it all year anyway!

This round of DadSpa updates features articles about:
BBQ Grilling tips -ideas, spices, and more. We have spice recommendations from Penzey’s spice, more suggestions from Stump’s Hot Olives, as well as some great activity and dining ideas.

Planning a trip to professional football training camp – the first steps involved with planning your trip.
Vacation planning ideas – regardless of gas prices, you still need to take a break with your family. We will offer some tips and informative sites to help you get going.

What’s better than golf? More golf! Did you watch the U.S. Open? It was truly awesome, 91 holes of golf. If that doesn’t get you going, then these ideas may help. In this update we offer a more advanced putting/chipping green option for your home.

Emergency preparedness – I live in the Midwest and there have been some very scary flooding incidents close to home.

What games are we playing now? Check out the games we have been playing lately- Wii Fit and Rummikub.

Nothing tastes better on the grill than steaks and burgers. As long as you have the grill all fired-up, you may as well be grilling the best meat possible.		Games make those summer nights, after being in the sun all day, just a little more fun. You may even slip in a little logical thinking exercise- don't tell the kids!		Golf to me is like a puzzle that evolves! Each time you play the puzzle changes. Each time you play your perspective on the game can change, too! It's not uncommon to be completely frustrated one hole and on top of the world the next.

For the dad who likes to rock . . . while napping.

DadSpa.com's Mission
Oh sure, you’ve probably been to a spa to buy a gift card or service for your wife, but this is not that kind of spa. At DadSpa.com, our goal is to provide dads (and those who love them) with information they can use to enhance a dad's life.

At DadSpa.com, we treat dads the way they really want to be treated. Dads are practical people. While they love to have a good time, they understand that responsibilities often come first. DadSpa.com is arranged with those priorities in mind. The Plan, Play, and Relax sections each highlight different important aspects of being a dad, while maintaining the fun side of being a man. We aim to offer new ideas, fresh opinions, great products and anything else we think might be of interest to dads. When links to other sites are provided, it is because we thought you might enjoy a certain product or service. Please visit the companies that are associated with any of the graphical advertisements that appear on this site. Link through this site, as you make purchases for dad or others, and DadSpa.com will be able to offer you more and more dad-focused commentary.
