Weekend getaways for hardworking moms

Mother’s Day is just days away, but it’s not too late to get your mom something that she will really enjoy. Rather than flowers that will soon wilt or a sweater that she’ll wear once, consider giving your mom a weekend getaway to one of many spots in Arkansas.

• Hot Springs – Bathhouse Row provides relaxing spa opportunities for busy moms.

• Buffalo National River – If your mom is an outdoor enthusiast, she’ll love floating the river or hiking the Lost Valley Trail.

• Little Rock – With the Promenade at Chenal and Outlets of Little Rock, your mom can shop until she drops.
