Maybe on Mother's Day the most usual place to travel is to moms' house :D At least I'm doing so. And I think it's also quite popular to go eat some place?

Yeah, I totally agree with Tilkkuliini.. I also thought about making a cake with strawberries to her. So after having eaten in a restaurant, we go and have a taste of that cake :P

I don’t want any festivals or big celebrations on Mother’s Day! It should be a family occasion and only thing that matters is having the whole family together.

We’ve visited different festivals all over the USA and that’s why our Mother’s Day is always different. It’s true that it is a family occasion, but there are still thousands of ways to spend it with family!

I agree with Virpi, so I think that the most important thing on Mother’s Day is time! I don’t want to buy anything or go anywhere, just spend some time together.

Ha, very interesting events and festivals! But not for mother's day. I don't think it's feasible to travel with mum. :-P Got some new ideas for the day, though...

Did you try your new ideas? :D

I have to say that Mother's Day is getting more and more difficult every year...when you have your own children, own mother, own grandmother, mother-in-law... :D...where to go and what to do!? Usually it's just running from place to place! But I think that it could be very pleasant and different to take the whole gang with and go to some of these places :D
