For a Mother’s Day that’s tough to top, what could be better than a trip to the Grand Strand? This year, treat mom to fun in the sun in her favorite vacation spot. The beach is heating up now.

That spring-to-summer transition is prime time in Myrtle Beach.

For the woman who does it all as a mom, wife, sister, friend, and more, don’t miss the chance to show your appreciation! Moms make the world go ‘round. Give her a beach getaway.

Fun Facts About Mother’s Day

Moms know all the important things. This we know. So, dazzle her with these.

The First Mother’s Day Mom Was Rhea

This is even cooler if your mom’s name is Rhea. A Greek spring celebration honored Rhea, the goddess of fertility, and generation.

Forty-Six Countries Celebrate Mother’s Day

Moms are pretty universal. The time of year varies by nation, which is fine, so long as you remember the date for where YOU live.

Anna Jarvis is the Mother of Mother’s Day in America

And she should credit … her mom, who organized women’s groups to promote friendship and health. It began with Mrs. Jarvis’ memorial service in 1907. The nation followed suit with the holiday by 1914.
