10. Take a hike together or venture through Yew Dell Gardens.

9. Cruise the Ohio on the Belle of Louisville.
The weather predicted for Mother's Day will be perfect for a cruise on the Ohio.

7. Take a free walking tour of downtown Louisville.
Or visit one of the Hometown Tourist Celebration sites and do something new together.

Mother's Day doesn't have to be all about a fancy brunch. Simple activities like these make great memories together.

Spend some time winding down in historic Shelbyville before or afterwards. You could also take mom shopping at the Paddock Shops, Westport Village, or at Oxmoor and St. Matthews.

Sisters is offering a Mother's Day High Tea at various times May 7-10.

If you have one of those "fun moms."
1. Head to the Flea Off Market.
It's my #1 pick because it is what I have decided I want to do this Sunday. I'll be finding Louisville Cream and having one of those pretzel cones to celebrate being a mom.
