It really is cute.

The article starts:
“Take Mom on a getaway for Mother’s Day and the memories will keep on giving long after you return. Marybeth Bond, author of 50 Best Girlfriend Getaways, (gutsytraveler.com), and her 91-year-old mother often reminisce about the rafting trip they took together 20 years ago. Bond shares her choices with Kathy Baruffi for USA TODAY.” The on-line article has many more places than the newspaper version did.
