There is an ice cream stand, sushi stand, cold cut stand, and a variety of other food stations. However, this is a pricey spot to take mom. Adults eat for $79.00 and children cost $37.50.

You can’t go wrong with a meaningful Mother’s Day card! Go to the nearest store such as Hallmark or make one by hand (the best choice)! Picking out a card can be tough though. The best kinds of cards are ones that come from your heart and are really meaningful. If you’re thinking of making one by hand, then all you have to do is get some construction paper and colorful pencils. Fold the paper and begin writing all of reasons you are grateful for your mother! You can’t go wrong with a beautiful card that can bring your mother to tears of joy!
