There are a number of reasons why we should celebrate Mother’s Day but ever wonder how the holiday began? Mothers around the world can thank Anna M. Jarvis for starting the first movement in 1907 to recognize and honor mothers as a special tribute to her own mother who had passed away. By 1914, Mother’s Day became recognized as a national holiday to fall every second Sunday in May. This year, Mother’s Day takes place on May 10 and if you’re still looking for last minute ideas to impress mom, make some one-on-one time with her at Iron Corbel Inn Bed and Breakfast in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania for a traditional luncheon and tea. Mom will appreciate the thoughtful gesture and the delicious offerings that include bisque soup, tea sandwiches, scones and shortbread cookies with tea.
You can keep mom guessing with a special Mother’s Day package from Shining Dawn Bed and Breakfast Retreat Center in Hanover, Pennsylvania. Mom can forget her daily duties once she checks in for a two-night stay, high tea, a restful night of movies and popcorn or sundaes. After a peaceful night, mom will have plenty to look forward to by morning with a full breakfast and a jaunt to the local town where you can take mom antique shopping or try a short day trip to Gettysburg.
Mom-inspired getaways are not limited to Pennsylvania bed and breakfasts. You can find more Mother’s and Father’s Day packages on our bed and breakfast specials page or let mom choose where she wants to go and present mom with a bed and breakfast travel gift certificate.
