Father’s Day has never been as brunch-focused as Mother’s Day….probably because, historically, men didn’t spend as much time in the kitchen as women and wouldn’t consider a break from a hot stove a treat.

Here in the South Bay, there are plenty of pursuits perfectly suited for Father’s Day. The following are a few of my top picks….and the best part? You don’t need to make a reservation!

For the athlete – Volleyball Tournament in Manhattan Beach https://www.southbaybyjackie.com/fathers-day-volleyball-tournament/

For the car enthusiast – Sunday Drive & Beer Tasting @ the ADM https://www.southbaybyjackie.com/fathers-day-sunday-drive-beer-tasting-the-adm/  Read more... (196 words, 1 image, estimated 47 secs reading time)

South Bay Fencing, a new fencing club has recently opened in Torrance. For those that may be unaware, I was a competitive fencer years ago and got my start at a club in Torrance.

Fencing is not as popular here in the States as it is in Europe and around the world, but it’s a fun and fantastic sport! Summer break is a great time for kids to try new activities and sports and they can start as young as six years old training at the club. Fencing is also a great way to get a leg up to get into universities with fencing teams (Stanford, UCSD, Columbia, Princeton, Penn State, etc). At my former club, 97% of student members were accepted into Ivy League schools….. just sayin’!  Read more... (165 words, 1 image, estimated 40 secs reading time)
