It's actually a perfect trip for Mom's Day. <p> The tulip festival runs May 2-19, and about 40 hotels in Ottawa and Gatineau have created a special festival package for visitors. The package includes accommodations, a voucher to receive International Friendship Passports, Tulip pins and entrance to mytwocents 2008-04-25T14:00:02-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/4/23/164826/087 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/viceroyps_moms.jpg" class="imgborder"><p>Mother's Day is next Sunday, May 11 and if you were thinking of picking up all the usual gifts for mom on her big day like flowers, chocolates, that latest <i>New York Times</i> bestseller, we say get a little more creative.
