Did you know that Mother's Day turns 100 this year?

Thanks to West Virginian Anna Jarvis' love for her own mother (and some vigorous campaigning by Anna), Mother's Day was declared a national holiday in 1914.

With such an historic Mother's Day just around the corner, why not plan a legendary day for your Mom?

After a morning spent on the beach soaking up the warm sun and watching pelicans and gulls dip and dive for food, take Mom on a lunch break. Head over to one of the restaurants overlooking Lake Broadway where, together, you can relax on a deck, enjoy the soft breeze coming off the lake, and share a laugh about the antics of the ducks waddling along the lake banks.

After lunch, indulge Mom's fondness for shopping with visits to unique shops like Bijuju and Heartfire. Watch her smile as she discovers the latest styles in handbags, sorts through fascinating accessories, and examines some eye-catching jewelry.

Spice up your day together with a little outdoor competition playing mini-golf at Dragon's Lair Fantasy Golf. Or move indoors to Carmike Cinema — Broadway 17 and catch that chick-flick she's been wanting to see.

And what would a Mother's Day be without a family photo to commemorate the big day? Make this year's snapshot as memorable as your day together with a photo by Old Tyme Portraits By Treadway. Outfitted in costumes from days gone by, you'll get a shot she'll enjoy forever!

Don't let the 100^th anniversary of Mother's Day go by without honoring Mom in a special way this year. Give her the gift of time with you at Broadway at the Beach, and make Mother's Day memories that she'll keep in her heart forever!

Ever dreamed of visiting a land filled with candy of all sizes and shapes? Where there are shelves of sweet and sour, creamy and chewy delights? Where sentinels of 5-pound Gummy Bears stand by giant boxes of Gobstoppers, flanked by huge Hersey's candy bars and luscious 1 lb. Reese's cups?

Myrtle Beach evenings are all about relaxing and sipping your favorite beverage after a day of fun in the sun.

If your beverage of choice is wine, you'll want to visit Broadway at the Beach's own Boardwalk Winery. At this small gourmet winery, visitors can treat their taste buds to (as the winery staff likes to say) a "vacation in a bottle."

At Broadway Winery, they create, label and sell their own brands of wines ranging from dry to sweet. And while you'll find traditional white and red wines there, you won't want to miss the chance to taste the unique flavors of their fruit wines like blackberry and mango-peach blends.

Stop by the wine tasting room for a fun and affordable way to sample special wines with irresistible names like "Endless Summer," "Ocean Breeze," "Cruzin," and "Summer Nights."

Boardwalk Winery can even ship your favorite wines, so you can bottle up your vacation and savor the memories after you return home.
