Dad Travels 3000 Miles To Surprise Navy Daughter With First Pint For 21st

A dad traveled almost 3000 MILES to buy his Navy daughter her first legal pint of beer as a surprise on her 21st birthday after she was unable to make it home. Chad Estes decided to surprise daughter Bonnie after she wasn’t able to take leave and head to Boise, Idaho, to celebrate with her family due to training exercises. She’d told her dad how excited she was for him to buy her first legal pint - as he did for her sister Kona and brother Stephen - so was disappointed when she realized she couldn’t see him. So Chad started working on a plan for how he could save money for the 2,832 mile journey to Honolulu, Hawaii - choosing to give up beer and put the money towards a flight. He also got in touch with two of Bonnie’s friends in Hawaii, Katie and Clay, who arranged a birthday meal for her and invited many Navy friends. On the morning of her birthday, Chad sent a text ‘Happy birthday Bonnie! I hope that you have a really special day!’ as he was boarding the flight. In the evening, he enters the bar and walks over the table where Bonnie and her friends are sat - with a beer in hand - and asks ‘Can I buy you a beer?’ causing Bonnie to leap across the seats to give her dad a huge hug.
