\"Hotel

Hotel del Coronado, Coronado, CA<\/p><\/div>\n

WEST COAST
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

, California<\/strong>
\nFor the mom who dreams of an island escape, but is a city girl at heart, Coronado<\/a> is just \u201cthe crown\u201d for her. Here Mom can do all her city heart desires \u2013art galleries, micro-breweries, boutique shopping or an evening at the theatre. But chances are she\u2019ll be content sipping mimosas poolside at the Hotel Del Coronado<\/a>, where she can kick off her sandals and walk the warm sandy beach between chapters of her favorite book. Downside: The sand can get kinda hot before you hit the water.<\/p>\n

La Jolla, California<\/strong>
\nFor the sporty yet classy mom, there\u2019s the \u201cjewell\u201d of La Jolla<\/a>, with gorgeous palm-studded coastline, a gazillion Mother\u2019s Day brunch options, and really cool ocean activities like kayaking and snorkeling. Book her a private surf lesson as a special treat. Downside: Getting that new surfboard she just had to have (the one that matches her pedicure), back home.<\/p>\n

Orange County, California<\/strong>
\nFor a classic Mother\u2019s Day in true So Cal style, head to Orange County<\/a> where Ritz Carlton<\/a>, Montage<\/a>\u00a0and Casa Laguna won\u2019t disappoint. Downside: She\u2019ll need time to decide which dress and heels go best with the restaurant d\u00e9cor, and to lay out her perfectly coordinated \u201coh, I just casually threw this in the suitcase\u201d beach outfit.<\/p>\n

\"Kiawah

Kiawah Island<\/p><\/div>\n

EAST COAST<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kiawah Island, South Carolina<\/strong>
\nFor the \u201cgolf\u201d mom, Kiawah Island is likely already a dream of hers. Located off the coast of Charleston<\/a>, South Carolina, Kiawah is home to a variety of golf courses, restaurants and resorts. The Sanctuary at Kiawah Island<\/a> is a favorite, where southern charm meets ocean view luxury. Downside: You weren\u2019t expecting her to decide to invest in real estate on the island.<\/p>\n

Florida<\/strong>
\nYou pretty much can\u2019t go wrong securing palm trees for mom anywhere on the Florida coast. On the east side, check out the Pelican Grand Resort in Fort Lauderdale<\/a>. On the west side, try Anna Maria Island<\/a>, where she can rent a bike or go shelling to her heart\u2019s content. Downside: Will she favor the sunrise or the sunset in Florida? She’ll have to try both.<\/p>\n

Caribbean<\/strong>
\nJust pick an island: Aruba<\/a>, St. Thomas<\/a>, Jamaica<\/a>, just pick one and go. What could there possibly be for any mom to complain about? It\u2019s all about her. You\u2019re welcome. Downside: Deciding which island YOU secretly most want to go to.<\/p>\n

Hawaii<\/a><\/strong>
\nSee Caribbean. Downside: She\u2019ll insist on bringing that surfboard you got her in La Jolla last Mother\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n
