There’s a special bond between mother and daughter that is like no other relationship. With love, luck and longevity, the relationship develops over a lifetime with changing dynamics and interests along the way. At each stage along that path, a mother-daughter getaway can strengthen the bond and make lasting memories. In honor of Mother’s Day, here are some ideas for fun mother-daughter trips for every age.
Mother-Daughter Trips for Every Age:
Tots to School Age (2 – 12)
A Disney trip is a rite of passage for every child, and one that lets parents rekindle their inner kid, as well. Even if you’ve been there before Walt Disney World® Resort never gets old. This year, new attractions include Rivers of Light at Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park, Star Wars experiences at Disney’s Hollywood Studios® and magical sailings on Frozen Ever After at Epcot®. A Disney Cruise is another Disney travel experience that ensures magical entertainment for every age: Disney movies under the stars, fireworks, character greetings, and kid-friendly dining in a different restaurant each night.
Tweens to Teens (13 – 18)
As your daughter gets older, you’ll both enjoy the sophistication of a big city. New York City is a perennial favorite where you can see a Broadway show, visit the world-class Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the moving 911 Memorial, and shop from SoHo to 5th Avenue. Washington, D.C. with a plethora of national heritage, a free zoo, and the amazing Smithsonian Museums, is an educational city that American’s of any age should visit.
Young Adults (19 – 29)
When your daughter becomes a young adult, your mother-daughter trips can take on a more self-indulgent quality. Enjoy being pampered at a destination spa where you can focus on health and wellness together. Miraval Resort & Spa and Canyon Ranch, both in Tucson, Arizona, offer fitness classes, a huge menu of spa and beauty treatments, a variety of wellness programs, and outdoor activities, as well as delicious, healthy spa cuisine. Or if you both love active adventure, head to Glacier National Park for hiking, tour Holland by bike, see the Big 5 on safari, or zip line in Costa Rica!
All Grown Up (30 – “mature”)
One day you’ll turn around and suddenly that little girl whose eyes shone when she met Snow White in person has become an adult. Now she has a busy life of her own, so you don’t get the together time you once did. What could be a better excuse to take another mother-daughter getaway? At this stage of life, both of you will enjoy engaging cultural experiences such as a wine tasting weekend in Napa, attending one of the “Big Four” Fashion Weeks (London, New York, Milan, Paris) or a culinary-themed cruise. Escorted tours offer in-depth regional discoveries, or you can customize an independent trip, including private guides for special interest explorations.
Travel brings mothers and daughters closer together with shared experiences and creates happy memories you will cherish for a lifetime. It’s rewarding at any age and can be repeated often for an even stronger bond. Contact the experts at Covington Travel to plan your own mother-daughter trips soon.
