A well-planned trip can be the biggest gift for your relationship.

For all of my 37 years, my Mom has been my best friend.
During my diva-like era in junior high, I probably wouldnt have admitted that.

Consider the Commute
Im one of the odd travelers who not-so-secretly loves the airport.
Mom, however, finds the entire airport process to be stressful and draining.
WithSouthall Farm & Inns focus on bees (they have 7 million!
(I can only wish to have half the green thumb she has!)
She also made that first international trip possible.
So it was fun to turn the tables to contemplate a first, or a few, for her.
Goal number one was achieved simply by booking and enjoying the trip together.
Goal two was something that would take a bit more intention.
Save Space for Spontaneity
This isnt to say that the entirety of the trip was serious.
An open afternoon allowed us to wander through bookstores and art galleries.
