Give Mom an unforgettable experience this Mother’s Day by treating her to dinner at one of Landry’s restaurants and giving the gift of a lasting memory with a custom photo canvas from Picture it on Canvas.

Landry’s, Inc.

Landry’s, Inc. operates more than 30 restaurant brands with only two main goals: good food and good memories. Thankfully, each of their venues has a signature element that’s hard to forget, whether the Oceanaire’s fresh seafood—flown in daily—or Rainforest Cafe’s animatronic wildlife that’s almost as realistic as the Amazon’s wind-up monkeys. Steak and seafood spots feature prominently on the list of Landry’s locations, including Morton’s The Steakhouse, Vic & Anthony’s Steakhouse, and McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood & Steaks. But there are standouts in other genres, too, such as the Italian trattoria known as Grotto.

• $41 for one 60-minute hot-stone massage ($80 value)

Hot-Stone Massage: Volcanic Relaxation

The hot stones used during massage aren’t just for a warm sensation—they actually make muscles more pliable. Check out Groupon’s guide to the theories behind hot-stone massage.

For a hot-stone massage, basalt stones are first heated to temperatures in excess of 1,300 degrees. This is long before the massage begins, of course, when basaltic magma is still trapped beneath the earth’s surface. After it erupts, the rivers of lava rapidly cool, then finally harden into finely textured volcanic stones. It’s with about a dozen such stones that therapists heighten the healing powers of their massages. The stones are dense and rich in iron, making them excellent retainers of heat and an important part of a balanced ogre diet. When a massage therapist heats a polished specimen to about 120 degrees, the stone disperses that warmth slowly as it is rubbed against tense muscles. The rocks obtain their uniform level of heat through a special temperature-controlled water bath. Hot-stone therapists’ emphasis on safety also means that when stones are resting on the body, they’re often placed atop a sheet or other draping material to ensure that skin doesn’t become uncomfortably hot.

Beyond this standard protocol, different therapists have their own techniques—some apply oil for a smoother massage, while others may place stones in the palms of the hands or even between toes. Regardless of the therapist’s approach, though, the stones pass more heat along to tense muscles than is possible through bare hands, which increases blood flow to the area and helps injuries speedily recover. Therapists may take advantage of muscles’ heat-induced pliability to work with deeper pressure, getting at trigger points or extra-tight areas hiding beneath the body’s protective wax coating.

Hotel at a Glance: Center Harbor Inn

There’s an unlimited supply of fresh air and natural splendor at Center Harbor Inn. The resort sits on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee in central New Hampshire, where it overlooks lush forests and the distant peaks of the White Mountains. A 200-foot private beach with kayak and boat rentals as well as docks, slips, and moorings allow guests to take full advantage of the water.

• In-room amenities: half-sized refrigerator, flat-screen TV with cable, a private balcony, and free WiFi
• Free continental breakfast with bagels, fruit, coffee, and tea; served mid-June through mid-August.
• Exclusive discounts: Guests of the inn get discounted rates on kayak and boat rentals as well as diving lessons in the lake.
• Walk to town: It’s just a few blocks from the inn.

Center Harbor, New Hampshire: Century-Old Resort Town on Lake Winnipesaukee

Visitors have been coming to Center Harbor for more than a century to lounge on the sandy beaches and frolic in the sparkling waters of Lake Winnipesaukee. In the early days they arrived each summer on trains and steamboats, which ferried passengers to resort towns all along the 72-square-mile lake. One of the best known steamboats was the S.S. Mount Washington. Built in 1872 and rebuilt in 1940 after being lost to a devastating fire, the storied vessel now hosts sunset dinner cruises.

Center Harbor thrives during the summer, when boaters, jet skiers, kayakers, and swimmers descend on Lake Winnipesaukee. But there’s plenty to do throughout the year. A number of hiking trails encircle the lake, offering up-close views of fall foliage and spring wildflowers. You can also fish the lake from private or public docks all year long, though you’ll have to switch to ice-fishing in the winter. The White Mountains are just an hour up the road; head here to hike, ski, and visit historical small towns dotting the landscape.

Weight-Loss and Wellness Program amid New York’s Catskill Mountains

The leaders of Jump Start Retreat NY (formerly Birchcreek Retreat) know that weight loss and good habits can be hard to start. That’s why they created 3- and 7-night immersive programs where weight loss, recharging, and cleansing are the daily focuses. It certainly doesn’t hurt that guests exercise in the bucolic natural countryside of Catskill Park.

In the detox and exercise program, you’ll have a varied itinerary; each day typically includes two hours of hikes, yoga, strength training, cardio activities, and a diet of healthy juices, smoothies, and raw snacks specifically designed to burn fat, speed up your metabolism and restore energy. After partaking in physical activities and a high-octane juice fast, participants return home considerably lighter, cleansed, and armed with the skills to stay in shape.

The ‘Get Ready for Summer’ program is appropriate for anyone who wants a jump start to a healthy lifestyle. Two hours are set aside each day for exercise, and certified personal trainers lead the workouts. There’s a communal, noncompetitive atmosphere here—guests are encouraged, but not required, to participate in all activities. The daily routine may look something like this:

8:30 a.m. – Juice, smoothie and snack basket delivered to your room
9 a.m. – One-hour cardio workout
10:30 a.m. – One hour of strength training, Pilates, or yoga
Personal time for activities such as swimming in the outdoor pool or hiking the nearby trails

• Jump start your metabolism: For meals, you’ll enjoy a cleansing all-juice/smoothie diet that includes low calorie snacks. With the juice diet, you can expect healthy drinks such as carrot-ginger and pineapple-orange juice for breakfast, as well as some heartier dinner drink blends. It totals up to about 1,000–1,200 calories per day.
• Stay on an estate in the mountains: The retreat is located just 2.5 hours from Manhattan in New York’s Catskill Mountains. The estate was built by a wealthy entrepreneur in 1896 and has only 10 guest rooms. Each private room has a view of the hills, streams, and stone walls. During your free time, you can head out to one of the private trails or socialize with fellow healthy-minded guests.

Explore Tropical Islands 1,000 Miles Off the Coast of Portugal

On this 7-day vacation you’ll explore the beautiful Azores islands, located 1,000 miles off the coast of Portugal in the North Atlantic. The exotic islands are bursting with flora and fauna, hot springs, and lakes filling volcanic calderas. This vacation includes:

• Round-trip airfare from Boston (BOS) via SATA
• 6 nights of accommodations in a standard room at São Miguel Park Hotel
• Daily breakfast
• One checked bag up to 23 kg (50 lb.) and one volume carry-on bag up to 8 kg (17 lb.) not exceeding 55 cm x 40 cm x 20 cm

São Miguel Park Hotel

São Miguel Park Hotel is tucked away from the city center. You can relax in the hot tub or kick back by an outdoor pool or sunlit indoor pool surrounded by walls of windows. The intimate onsite restaurant is decorated in beige hues; it specializes in regional cuisine, served both à la carte and buffet style. The spread might include exotic fruits and vegetables as well as fresh grilled seafood.

São Miguel Island, Azores: Endemic Flora, Hot Springs, and Cobblestone Streets

Roughly 1,000 miles off Portugal’s shores sit the Azores, a cluster of nine volcanic islands that bask in sunny weather all year round. The largest of these is São Miguel Island, aptly dubbed “the Green Island.” It’s practically overrun with exotic flora and dense tropical foliage. And where the ground isn’t carpeted in greenery, you can find hot springs and fumaroles venting clouds of steam. Calderas—large volcanic craters—are another prominent feature of the landscape. São Miguel Island has several, including one ancient, towering caldera that contains the twin Sete Cidades lakes.

You can explore much of the island via marked hiking trails; Ponta Delgada’s António Borges Botanical Gardens is also a good spot to see rare local plants, including sinuous indian rubber trees.

As São Miguel Island’s major city, Ponta Delgada draws much of the tourist traffic—and for good reason. The city’s cobblestone streets are lined with stately baroque buildings, including the São Sebastião Catholic church, a 16th-century masterpiece with accents of rare Brazilian wood and actual gold thread on the inside. The Gorreana Tea estate is among the oldest of Europe’s few tea plantations. On tours of the plantation, you can learn about tea production on the estate’s rolling fields and sample fresh Azorean green tea in the tearoom.

Comic Hypnotist Frank Santos Jr.

One could say that Frank Santos Jr. has a certain power over people. With little more than his calming voice and amiable personality, he can turn his audience members into famous singers, convince them that they’ve seen an alien, or make them believe that they’re being pinched by the person next to them. Picking volunteers from the audience, Frank implants amusing ideas into their minds and, with triggering words, sets them loose to create havoc on the stage. This show contains Frank’s R-rated repertoire, which means it could include ideas and language intended for only mature audiences and sailors cursed to be trapped in kids’ bodies.

Colin Mochrie & Brad Sherwood: Two Man Group

Longtime Whose Line Is It Anyway? stars Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood have toted their quick-witted, improvised comedy around the country for years. Not bound by scripts, the duo takes suggestions from the audience and fluidly bounces off each other’s screwball bits to craft hilarious scenes on the fly. As the evening rolls on, they draft game but uncoached audience members into the onstage action. Though audiences can expect daredevil games and easy patter between the two stage vets, the form of any given show won’t unfold until the night of the performance—as the Herald-Review reported, they’ve “developed an aversion to ever performing the same joke or routine twice.”

Metamorphosis

Trapezes artists bewitch the air, transforming it into their playground. Horses thunder past, turning the dust into a cloud of mystery. Contortionists contort, and clowns make chuckles appear where moments before there were none.

Metamorphosis brings all these feats and many others within 50 feet of the crowd. In their newest show, ringmaster John Kennedy Kane and the other uncannily talented, sometimes death-defying performers of Big Apple Circus focus on transformation. Vladimir and Olga Smirnov deftly slip from one spectacular costume to the next at double-take-inducing speed, and the Anastasini Family effectively turn each other into balls or torches by juggling each other atop their feet. Horses and shelter dogs also get in on the fun with the help of third-generation trainer animal Jenny Vidbel.

Bradford, New Hampshire: Small Town Convenient for Lake and Mountain Recreation

The small town of Bradford acts as a gateway to New Hampshire’s Lake Sunapee region, a popular summer getaway for nearby Bostonians. Activities on Lake Sunapee range from a scenic afternoon cruise to kayaking. The lake’s swimmable beaches and surrounding Appalachian Mountains make up Mount Sunapee State Park, a scenic spot for hiking, swimming, and fishing.

Hotel at a Glance: Mirbeau Inn & Spa at The Pinehills

The elaborately planned landscapes and soft colors at Mirbeau Inn & Spa at The Pinehills evoke the Impressionist paintings of Claude Monet.

You’ll be close to historical attractions in Plymouth, and Boston is only 50 minutes away.

• Wander the gardens surrounding the property to admire weeping willows, arching bridges, and ponds dotted with lily pads.
• Have a seven-course dinner at Henri-Marie, the resort’s upscale main restaurant. The menu includes prime sirloin, torched toro, and strawberry shortcake.
• Relax with a glass of vino at the Bistro & Wine Bar, which offers classic cocktails and small plates.

Plymouth, Massachusetts: Pre-Colonial History and Museums Along the Waterfront

As far as origin stories go, few can compete with the tiny village of Plymouth, Massachusetts. The fleet of Pilgrims who landed on its shores in 1620 eventually founded the New World’s first successful colony. Today, you can tour some of the carefully preserved, centuries-old buildings and monuments around Plymouth. Pop by the Jenney House Museum to sign up for a walking tour led by a local historian.

Around the corner, Burial Hill cemetery marks the final resting place of the colony’s earliest settlers, including William Bradford. The carefully manicured Brewster Gardens is just down the street from the cemetery. A walk through the park leads all the way to the waterfront, where you’ll find Plymouth Rock and the Mayflower II, a full-scale replica of the Pilgrims’ ship.

Historical Mansion Tucked in Green Mountains Foothills

At the beginning of the 20th century, Vermont governor Allen Fletcher hired a team of European craftsmen to build a country house in the Green Mountain foothills. With an Old-World aesthetic in mind, the builders tapped into New-World resources, quarrying local stones for the exterior and carving the interior out of mahogany and other fine woods. They constructed an English Cotswold–style mansion that has become the Castle Hill Resort and Spa, a building listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the impressive “Small Luxury Hotels of the World” directory. In addition to the scenic Vermont setting, the hotel puts its guests just a few miles from Okemo Mountain Resort.

Inside, you can still see a grand staircase, carved plaster ceilings, turn-of-the-century wallpaper, Tiffany light fixtures, and other original elements. An elegant grandfather clock sits outside of the oval-shaped dining room, where Executive Chef Alphonsus Harris serves French-influenced upscale cuisine using locally sourced produce and meats. This Getaway includes a $25 credit toward a three-course gourmet dinner for two (valid Monday-Friday; closed various Fridays for events. See hours here).

The resort’s 10 individually decorated guest rooms feature antique and reproduced period furniture, flat-screen TVs, Keurig coffeemakers, and private bathrooms. Condominium hotel rooms are set amid the property’s towering pine trees.

The hotel’s Aveda Concept spa sits apart from the old mansion, inside a historical carriage house. You can choose from a variety of services, ranging from deep-tissue sessions to specialty Black River hot-stone massages and Elemental Nature treatments with aromatherapy; your stay includes a $25 credit toward a 50-minute massage.

Ludlow, Vermont: Quaint New England Town near Okemo Mountain

Chelsea, Massachusetts: Boston Suburb Across the Mystic River

On its 7-mile journey from Lower Mystic Lake to the Boston Harbor, the Mystic River separates the suburb of Chelsea from downtown Boston. You can admire views of the river and the Boston skyline at Mary O’Malley Park, which features picnic tables, a grassy expanse of land, and tennis courts.

Across the Mystic River sits Boston’s Charlestown neighborhood, perhaps best known for its Bunker Hill monument. The 221-foot-tall granite obelisk—which commemorates the first battle of the Revolutionary War—resembles the Washington Monument. Charlestown is also home to the USS Constitution Museum. The USS Constitution, launched in 1797, is the oldest commissioned floating warship in existence.

If you’re visiting downtown Boston for the first time, the best way to navigate the area is to follow the 2.5-mile-long Freedom Trail. It takes you past 16 historical landmarks, including Paul Revere’s home, Old North Church (of “One if by land, two if by sea” fame), and Faneuil Hall.

Spacious Condos near Mountain Recreation

Quebec’s Laurentian Mountains have peaks that reach about 3,800 feet (1,150 m). That’s well below those of the Appalachian or Rocky Mountains, but it makes the range somewhat of a hidden gem. Cap Tremblant mountain resort is situated within 5 minutes of Mont Tremblant, a popular skiing destination that transforms in spring to a playground for hiking, zip-lining, and whitewater rafting.

Cap Tremblant has a huge main lodge with crackling fireplaces, as well as a collection of condo buildings with great views. Each one- and two-bedroom condo includes spacious sleeping quarters, a living room with a sofa bed, a fully equipped kitchen, and free WiFi. Head out to the private balcony or terrace to take in the picturesque surroundings.

The hotel’s gourmet Italian restaurant, Il Pinnacolo, offers spectacular mountain views from its glass-enclosed dining room. It’s a romantic spot where you can share veal marsala, steak tartare, or housemade pizza. The property also a has pool and two full-swing golf simulators. Several 18-hole courses are within a 15-minute drive if you prefer the real thing.

Mont-Tremblant, Quebec: Alpine Adventure and Scenic Villages in the Laurentian Mountains

Tucked between Montreal and Québec City, Mont-Tremblant is a mountainside city made up of three regions: the old village, the pedestrian village, and Saint-Jovite.  Each has its own character. The quiet old village overlooks Lac Mercier with boutiques and bistro-style restaurants. Contrast that with the pedestrian village—or “the resort,” as locals call it—which buzzes with activity from its panoramic gondola-lift to its lively bars. Outdoor pursuits go on year-round here and include skiing, whitewater rafting, and zip-lining.

Saint-Jovite, located about 6 miles south of the old village, used to be its own municipality before merging with the rest of Mont-Tremblant. The area still looks and feels like a small town, with most of the action centered around a main street dotted with antique shops, ice-cream parlors, and pubs with sprawling outdoor terraces.

Fairhaven, Massachusetts: Seaside Town Settled by Mayflower Passengers

Though it has some lovely European architecture, Fairhaven is about as American as it gets. The town was settled by pilgrims who came over on the Mayflower. A century later, it was the site of the first naval battle in the American Revolution. The impending Fort Phoenix protected the town and New Bedford Harbor during this battle, and again during the War of 1812 and Civil War. You can take a tour of the town and this historical site, which is located on the Fort Phoenix State Reservation. The park is also home to a half-mile stretch of beach on Buzzards Bay, where you can watch sailboats slowly glide by or look on to the shores of the Elizabeth Islands.

The West Island State Reservation is on neighboring Nantucket Bay. The marshland’s high populations of rare and migratory birds—including cooper’s hawks, great blue herons, and snowy egrets—make it an ideal spot for bird watchers.

Cape Cod, Massachusetts: Historic Towns and Miles of Protected Beaches

In the late 19th century, Cape Cod blossomed into a summer vacation destination as visitors swapped crowded coastal cities for the sandy shores of eastern Massachusetts. Today, the arm-shaped peninsula, located 60 miles south of Boston, encompasses 15 idyllic towns, rolling dunes, and 300 miles of sandy shoreline—and it’s still the place where many East Coasters choose to spend their leisurely summer days. Popular attractions include fresh-seafood restaurants, quaint stores, and bicycle trails, such as the 11-mile Shining Sea Bikeway that wends from North Falmouth to Woods Hole.

Situated just south of Cape Cod Bay, the homey village of Sandwich draws visitors in search of both activity and relaxation. Biking and hiking are popular along the village’s restored boardwalk, which was rebuilt using 1,700 wooden planks carved with personal messages from the townspeople. Nearby, Heritage Museums & Garden features a maze garden, antique automobiles, and a working carousel from 1908.

Along the Lower, or Outer, Cape, the 44,000-acre Cape Cod National Seashore stretches from Orleans to Provincetown and features six swimming beaches, wild cranberry bogs, and miles of walking and biking trails. In Eastham, be sure to check out the Nauset Lighthouse, which has overlooked the Atlantic and helped guide vacationing British fish to shore since 1838. This coastal region is also known for whale watching; between April and November, tour boats take passengers out to sea to catch glimpses of humpback and minke whales.
