So, it's not about a material gift as much as it is about instilling them with the belief in your character. Yes a material gift is probably in order, but i imagine something simple, classy, and then your best behaviour and the confidence you leave with them, that you are a man of character.

Very well said, I definately agree with with you and your wife that it isn't about the monitary value of the the gift as much as it is showing the appreciation for the invitation to share time with them and their daughter on this trip and exhibiting a bit of character and thoughtfulness that comes from being a kentucky raised gentlemen. That is why I turned to you folks here on the board for ideas as I know you all are good people and would help me come up with some great ideas to help me extend my gratitude.
