Top 3 WA 'Momcation' Spots Moms Want for Mother's Day

Are we supposed to forget spending money on those gorgeous flowers (you know the usual suspects like lilies, daffodils, roses, and tulips) and put all that money towards a condo rental for Mother's Day? (I say why not both, ha!) Washington moms are starting to say, "Hold my flowers! I want a Momcation for Mother's Day!"

Washington Moms Say They Want You to Get Them a Momcation for Mother's Day

According to some spicy moms who have decided to speak their minds (for once) to let us know that, sure, the cards, flowers, Mother's Day chocolate bunnies, massage gift certificates, and breakfasts in bed are all truly sweet, kind, and thoughtful, but what we really want is to take a break from all of y'all! (I say y'all because I'm originally from The South and I just can't stop saying the word.)

A survey from Present.com reveals we moms also want y'all to clean the house while we're gone on our 'Momcations.'

The San Juan Islands were voted as the #1 choice for a Momcation on Present.com.

I've only been to two of those locations and let me tell you that out of those three choices, the San Juan Islands would be my pick for #1, too! All that natural beauty surrounded by the Puget Sound, listening to the waves, possibly spotting some orcas, feeling like time has stood still and that I am in paradise without having to stress about work or my kid's schoolwork (ha)--it just sounds like pure bliss to me.

In 1806 Captain Clark of the Corps of Discovery described what is now Ecola State Park in Oregon as “…the grandest and most pleasing prospects which my eyes ever surveyed…”. I completely agree with Captain Clark and that’s why I make it a point to visit the park, which is near Cannon Beach, each year. And, there’s no better time than right now! Scroll down and take a gander at nature's glory.
