Afternoon tea at butterlane bakery
Take Mom out to the Lonsdale Quay Market to enjoy a traditional English Afternoon Tea watching the boats go by on Butterlane Bake Shop’s Patio. The High Tea includes elegant finger sandwiches, scones with preserves and Devonshire Cream, cream teas and sweet petite fancies all made in-house. This year, Butterlane Bakery is also offering a Champagne High Tea Delivery for those who can’t be with their Mom this time. Enjoy a post-lunch walk along the Burrard Dry Dock Pier to take in the views.
North shore spirit trail stroll and a spa day
Take your Mom to grab a coffee or fresh smoothie from Heirloom Ambleside and while you are there pick up a banana bread or cookie to have on the go. Heirloom specializes in vegetarian and vegan treats with plenty of gluten-free treats too, so there is something for everyone! Make your way along to Ambleside Beach, a few steps away, to join the North Shore Spirit Trail. The North Shore Spirit Trail is a separated trail, easy to walk while you catch up with your Mom over your coffees. An hour down the path you’ll find Spa Utopia and you’ll be ready for your well-deserved relaxation. Pamper your Mom as she puts on the spa robe and forgets the worries of everyday life while enjoying treatments in private rooms.
Be a tourist in your own backyard
See your hometown through new eyes by vacationing in your own backyard this year. If you and your Mom share a household, treat her to a getaway…right on her own doorstep. Being a hometown tourist for a long weekend, staying in a local hotel, visiting attractions, and eating in restaurants is a great way to support local businesses during this difficult time while giving yourself a break from the norm! Non-essential travel outside of your home region is not recommended. Find the best accommodation deals on our website.
