If you’re still casting about for something special to give to mom this year for Mother’s Day, consider giving her a night or two at our Cape May Bed and Breakfast. Better still, plan to travel here with her.

In 2011, Mother’s Day falls on May 8, the day after the Kentucky Derby. As many of you know, we take the Derby extremely seriously here at our Cape May Bed and Breakfast, as we have since way back when (1968) in Gettysburg. We have some serious fun, that is.

If your mom is as big a fan of the Kentucky Derby as we are, why not join us at the inn the weekend of May 7-8, 2011. Toast your mom with a Mint Julep. Buy her a fantastically outrageous hat. Float her the $2 to place on a horse, and if you win, share your earnings with her. Now that would be a Mother’s Day to remember.

Chip and the sisters. Picture your mom in a fancy hat standing here with Chip.

Here is a photo of Barbara, daughter Tami, and twin grandsons, born just in time for Mother’s Day.

We love our young grandsons!

No one loves you like your mother.

This weekend is Mother’s Day, and we know that you have a mother to celebrate. When was the last time that you took your mother away for the weekend? When was the last time that you took the mother of your children away for the weekend? No matter, you can do it this weekend at our Cape May Bed and Breakfast. You may sit on our porch and swap stories, or play a game and enjoy one another’s company. We will help make the mother in your life feel special and loved.

May is a great time to visit Cape May, and the John F Craig House is a great place to stay while here. BedandBreakfast.com named us one of the 10 best inns in the Mid-Atlantic states – the only winner in Cape May. We love what we do, we enjoy our guests, and we strive to make everyone comfortable while here. So come enjoy the beaches and our historic town; Mom will be so pleased.

Treat Mom to tea at the Carriage House Tearoom & Café. Located on the grounds of the 1879 Emma Physick Estate, the Carriage House serves a traditional tea service in the original (renovated) carriage house of the estate. If the weather is fine, you may dine outside on the brick patio. It’s a great way to thank your favorite mother for all that she does.
