\"Mothers<\/p>\n

Let’s just come right out with out: mothers really deserve much, much more than a single day of appreciation. At least a designated day each season, right? I myself am certainly guilty of overlooking the sacrifices and work my own mother made to ensure I had a happy and healthy childhood. When my first daughter was born, I remember walking in to teach a class the morning I returned to work, and when all the students eagerly asked about the baby, I simply said, “when you get home today, call your mom. Tell her thank you. That’s not an easy job.” I’ve since learned that it doesn’t get any easier either.<\/p>\n

So whether it is your own mother, the mother of your children, or just a special mother or mother-figure in your life, Sunday, May 11th is the day to show moms everywhere\u00a0that they are appreciated and loved<\/strong>. Thankfully, should you\u00a0find yourself in the Grand Strand on vacation during this time, North Myrtle Beach is a wonderful place to celebrate the important moms in your life.<\/p>\n

Below is a list of ideas and activities for a “Mom’s Day Out” in the North Myrtle Beach area<\/strong>. I should note that both my mom and my loving wife and mother of our daughters provided some input. Perhaps I should take the hint!<\/p>\n

\"Hoskins<\/p>\n

Brunch\/Lunch at Hoskins<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This is somewhat of a staple for this holiday. Many area restaurants will have Mother’s Day brunches available, and what better way to wake up from sleeping in late than with a large, mid-morning meal that blurs the boundaries of what is acceptable to consume before 11 o’clock. Bring on the mimosas and quiche, please. But if I was making plans for a brunch with mom and the family was coming along, we’d certainly go to Hoskins Restaurant<\/a> on Main Street in N. Myrtle Beach. Hoskins is old-school, no nonsense southern food, so if mom is health conscious, you don’t want to go here. But if she lights up at the idea of celebrating with homemade biscuits and gravy, fried flounder or shrimp and grits, Hoskins is a great way to kick things off.<\/p>\n

\"Barefoot<\/p>\n

Shopping at Barefoot Landing<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Thankfully none of the moms in my life are big shoppers, but if yours are, you need to head to Barefoot Landing<\/a>. A major retail, dining and entertainment destination in North Myrtle Beach, Barefoot boasts a number of national retail stores my mom loves (White House Black Market and Chico’s) along with smaller independent boutiques and shoppes. Better yet, all the stores are located along the scenic intracoastal waterway, making the experience much more pleasurable than walking around your typical American mall.<\/p>\n
