Dad's Day

June at Renaissance at North Bend—Father’s Day & New Fitness Equipment

fitness centerNo 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 Renaissance at North Bend team in Austin, Texas, 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! But before we get to that, here’s a fun little Facebook video about the grand reopening of our newly renovated fitness center, complete with new equipment! Just a quick reminder, residents must wear their community wristbands to access and use the fitness center. This helps us keep the space safe and enjoyable for everyone—thank you for your cooperation!

 

Fun For The Entire Family

Now, for Father’s Day ice cream…..

Going out for frozen treats is a way the entire gang can celebrate the occasion. And where better than Amy’s Ice Creams, with its multiple locations across the city?  The Idea Specialists™ have a love-hate relationship with Amy’s—love it because of how great everything tastes, hate it because there are SO many decadent and delicious choices! They swear by the vegan Siete Mexican Wedding Cookie⁠ flavor, a dreamy dessert featuring the shop’s classic Mexican Vanilla Ice Cream made with coconut milk, sweet agave, and crumbly SieteFoods Wedding Cookies. And, y’all? That Texas Dirt Cake flavor? Oh my goodness!

Plus, Amy’s offer dog-friendly treats for your furry friends, which means a lot to us because Renaissance at North Bend is an extremely pet-friendly upscale apartment home community!

For 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 Renaissance at North Bend 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.

The Idea Specialists™ are also big fans of practical gifts. That’s why they’re going to take advantage of one of the Unlimited Membership plans offered by The Wash Shop, with multiple locations in Austin. It’s a treat for both themselves and their dads.

Cheers To Dad!

Whether your pops prefers bourbon or beer, there’s something on the menu at Moonshine Patio Bar & Grill (downtown and Avery Ranch) that will quench his thirst (and some tasty treats on the food menu, too, including for the kiddos!). They pride themselves on taking their guests back to a simpler time—comfortable and familiar, relaxed and easygoing. And this year they’re featuring a special Father’s Day Brunch with an all-you-care-to-eat buffet. Yum!

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.
