When I booked this accommodation I did not really expect it to be in a Mother's Day. I originally planned this stay cation for Mom and Dad's wedding Anniversary but the hotel was fully booked. Good thing I moved it to a Mother's Day weekend making it really special. I would just like to honor our Mom, for doing everything for us, all the sacrifices and struggles she has gone through raising 4 bratty kids like us. Haha.
