On Saturday, I spent the day with my Dad at the Mets game. The Mets may not exactly be on a winning streak, but the weather was warm and the beer was cold. The veggie burgers were also pretty good. Our marvelous afternoon at Citi Field totally reminded me of the times my Dad took me and my sister to baseball games when I was a kid. Just don’t ask me what the score was.

My boyfriend came to the game too. This photo basically describes our relationship – me trying to take a selfie while he tries to watch sports.
Happy Father’s Day to my wonderful Dad! Thanks to my father, I have an undying love for the lakes of New England and the outdoors. As a kid, he always made time to take me skiing, camping, and bike riding. Once a year, he’d even take my sister and I out of school for a day of skiing which was always awesome. We often go on the same excursions today. Yesterday, my sister and I took him for a Father’s Day sail on the Delaware River. It couldn’t have been a more perfect day to be out on the water. The wind was wonderful and the temperature comfortable. I always tend to think of sailing when I think of my Dad because he’s out on a boat whenever he gets the chance. Happy Father’s Day Dad! Here’s to many more beautiful days out on the water and up on the slopes.
Father’s Day is almost here! So I hope you saved the date for June 16, 2013. Looking back on the past year, I’m so thankful that my Dad has always been there when I needed him. Especially, when I needed extra money to pay my bills or a shoulder to cry on. I only hope that someday I can return the favor when he needs me. Though he’ll be out of the country this Father’s Day, my sister and I are planning a dinner for when he returns. So it will be a belated Father’s Day celebration. In honor of this Sunday’s festivities, I’ve put together a collection of my favorite gift picks for Dad!
Happy Father’s Day to my Dad, Dr. Mark J. Sullivan, Doctor of Chemistry and father to myself and Caroline Sullivan. Over the years, my dad has proven himself as a socialite though his love for epic socialite activities such as sailing and skiing. I have to say, my dad is truly the sailing enthusiast of the family. Though I never took to sailing or the sciences like my father, my socialite aspirations along with the desire to spend more time with my Dad who resides hours away in Boston have drawn me closer to the sport. Here he is pictured right sailing on the Boston Harbor.
With my dad at the helm, I participated in socialite activities such as skiing and boating from a young age. I will never forget the joy of going down my first slope of powder soft snow with my dad on Loon Mountain at the age of seven. I have been a natural skier ever since. Every summer we explore our outdoorsy side at the scenic Lake Pemaquid Campground in Damariscotta, ME. Yes, even aspiring NYC socialites can be outdoorsy from time to time, especially if there are awesome outlets nearby in Freeport, ME. I am so thankful for all of the opportunities my father has given me growing up and am so grateful for all of the support he has given me in move to New York. Happy Father’s Day to my Socialite Dad!
