MOTHER’S DAY ESCAPE

The Perfect Week Away

by Amanda Vallone

As a daughter of a strong mom and a woman who has a daughter, I love the quote, “I am a strong woman because I was raised by a strong woman.”

Moms are always there for you. She’s the woman who gave you life, cared for you, sacrificed for you, taught you, and will always love you. So why not really show her how much you want to celebrate her? Moms and mom-figures are some of the hardest working people on the planet but are so often overlooked and underappreciated for what they do. This year, skip the flowers and chocolates and celebrate the mom in your life with something she wouldn’t give herself—true rest and relaxation. A VACATION!

Here are some ideas for the vacation getaway of her DREAMS.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER CRUISE

Not a beach-loving mom? A Mississippi River Cruise on a nostalgic paddle wheeler might be right up her alley. Has mom always wanted to visit New Orleans or Memphis? Does she love history and architecture? And are outdoor gardens in bloom her favorite? This is the trip for her.

SANDALS MONTEGO BAY, JAMAICA

Nestled along the unending shoreline of the most exclusive, private white-sand beach in Jamaica, Sandals Montego Bay is an adults-only, all-inclusive getaway perfect for any mom to find herself again. She can relax on the beach, at the spa, or around one of the many fire pits on property with her favorite drink. And they’re known for Butch’s Steakhouse, as well as 20 other restaurants (all included) at the resort so mom can eat amazing food she didn’t have to cook to her heart’s content.

With Jamaica being open for tourism and a direct flight from Orlando, it’s easy to get to and perfect for a Mother’s Day getaway.

TURKS & CAICOS BEACHES

Want a vacation the whole family can enjoy? Need to celebrate multiple moms in your life? Mom, Mother-inLaw, and Wife? Beaches are a great option for you. The kiddos are welcome to come, but with the water parks, pools, nanny service, and entertainment (including an Xbox Lounge), they won’t be hanging all over mom. Mom can enjoy her vacation while they enjoy theirs. This amazing all-inclusive resort features a 45,000 squarefoot waterpark, 21 gourmet restaurants, pools galore, and a 12-mile beach with the most beautiful turquoise waters. In other words, the perfect vacation for both the family and the Moms in your life.

She’ll embark on a unique riverboat adventure along the Lower Mississippi River between New Orleans, Louisiana, and Memphis, Tennessee. This is the enjoyable and relaxing ship trip she needs. Mom can sit outside on the deck in a rocking chair as she watches the incredible scenery and the beauty of our country sail by.
