What makes a good Dad? There are probably as many answers to that as there are good Dads. Fathers are role models, breadwinners, wrestling partners, coaches, and so much more.

Ernest Hemingway once said, “To be a successful father... there's one absolute rule: when you have a kid, don't look at it for the first two years.”

Harmon Killebrew said, “My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, ‘You're tearing up the grass.’ ‘We're not raising grass,’ Dad would reply. ‘We're raising boys.’”

Bill Cosby said, “If the new American father feels bewildered and even defeated, let him take comfort from the fact that whatever he does in any fathering situation has a fifty percent chance of being right.”

Whether we have a comic view of fatherhood, or a nostalgic one, we all have fathers. Remember to say thanks to your Dad this Father’s Day, June 17. Here are a few gift ideas for Dad’s who love to travel.

You’ll find all kinds of movies, music and books for all kinds of Dads at Barnes and Noble.
