Things to do with your sons in California

September 28 is National Sons Day, a chance for parents to celebrate their boys. But if you think we’ve already done that, you’re right! National Son’s Day takes place twice a year, the first time in March.

Why the double dip? Some blame social media, as the two dates came about in the age of influencers, some of whom chose March to celebrate while others chose September. Anyway, National Sunday is not a holiday, so there is no reason for anyone to object to two celebrations.
