Take Your Mom for Tea on Mother's Day in the Washington, D.C. Area

AFTERNOON TEA ON MOTHER'S DAY IN THE NATION'S CAPITOL
If you would like to surprise your Mom with something special, take her to afternoon tea. Mother's Day will require advance reservations at most places and will be busy. To avoid the crowds on Mother's Day you could give your Mom a package of fragrant loose tea wrapped in a tea towel tied with raffia and a homemade gift certificate with an offer to take her on a day of her choice.
