In the depths of your camera roll, you have sweet pictures you've taken with your dad during vacations, late-night ice cream runs, and weekend afternoons when he's maybe played guitar in your living room. Some of those pics you've posted on social media already to show your followers how incredible your dad or the dad figure in your life is. Others could be considered throwbacks and posted to your feed any day now, along with one of these Instagram captions for throwback pictures with your dad.

TBH, it's almost better to post those candids from your kitchen — where your dad may have roasted sweet potatoes with a little bit of butter and paprika on top, and made you laugh while sprinkling cheese over tortilla chips for his legendary nachos — long after they were captured. It gives you a chance to reminisce on the afternoons you spent listening to jams and driving around your hometown. When you least expect it, these pics let you walk down Nostalgia Lane and give you a reason to send a text to your dad something like, "Hey, do you remember this?"

It's almost guaranteed that he'll look at the faded Polaroid or grain-filled selfie and smile to himself. Just like you, he'll remember what it was like when you were little and wanted to build sandcastles on the beach and order pizza every single night. He appreciates the "throwbacks" and will likely love if you post them online. Here are 32 captions for those special kinds of pics with your dad that'll make you feel all the best feels.
