Vacation Packages for Overworked Moms

Perhaps it’s because the new school is fast approaching and kids will be heading back to class after being home with mom all day or maybe hotel marketing people simple know that the words “slave labor” and “mother” are easily interchanged. Regardless of the reason, lodgings around the country are running some outstanding deals on travel packages that cater to women who need a break from their chaotic lives.

Take a look:
