I've taken quite a few trips with my mom, some of them were quick trips and some were longer vacations. I could go on and on with all the things that we do but I thought maybe these trips would appeal to those looking for some girls only trips. Although it may be too late to plan something like this for mother's day this year, you could keep it for an idea for next year or for when you want a trip with mom, a sister or a girl friend any other time.
Here are 5 great Mother-Daughter Getaways.
1. This is probably a no -brainer but how about a weekend at a Spa? As you know, we went to the Hershey spa last month and it was a great mother - daughter experience. Do you have a great spa near you?
2. Is your mom a history buff? If so, she may enjoy touring the Newport Mansions. These Mansions sit along the coastline of Rhode Island and they are chalk full of history from the days of the Kennedys, Rockafellers, and Carnegies. The Mansions are fully furnished as they were in years pasts and hold lots of interesting stories from that time period. Today many of them are used for weddings and other high profile events. Some have been the backdrop for some famous movies. We did this trip as a double mother daughter trip as we went with our mom and our nana.
3. My mom and I like to do cruises with just the two of us. This is a great option for us as it does not require a lot of planning and because we are with in driving distance to many ports (advantage of living on the East Coast), we can cut out flying (which you know I hate to do). This allows us to keep expenses down and we can pack as much as we want!
4. Make a weekend out of a Dinner Theater or a Murder Mystery Weekend. I use to go to a Murder Mystery weekend every year that was an all inclusive resort. The room, the meals, the entertainment, activities, and snacks, for the entire weekend were included. These can be so much fun!
5. You didn't think I'd leave Disney off this list did you? Whether your mom is a runner or not, The Princess Half marathon weekend is the perfect girls only get away. If Disney is not your thing, perhaps participating in another girl themed race like the Diva Run!
