\"Jane_Seymour_1926\"<\/a> Hollywood actress Jane Seymour told me this week she tries not to travel too much these days. Who can blame her since she lives on the beach in Malibu, California?<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a family. I love to be together with them. I have grandchildren, but yes, I do travel a bit because business interests and filming take me away,\u201d said Seymour, via telephone. Seymour, who played Bond girl \u201cSolitaire\u201d in 1979\u2019s spy flick \u201cLive and Let Die,\u201d lives down the beach from Roger Moore, who played 007 in the movie.<\/p>\n

Will Seymour make an exception in order to return once again to Mackinac Island\u2019s Grand Hotel October 16<\/span> though 18 for the annual \u201cSomewhere in Time\u201d weekend, when fans of the film fill the hotel in period costumes for screenings, dinners and discussion? Seymour, 64, played Elise McKenna in the romantic movie filmed at the hotel in 1979.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019Somewhere in Time\u2019 and Grand Hotel are very special and I\u2019ve put it into my schedule and am hoping I can get there. Hopefully my daughter Katie will come, too, since she looks exactly as I did when I made the movie. People like that,\u201d said Seymour, who has made countless television movies and appeared in 2005\u2019s \u201cWedding Crashers\u201d with Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson and Bradley Cooper.<\/p>\n

And while staying in Malibu to be with family is nice, Seymour has traveled with her daughter to Grand Hotel in the past.\"Jane_Seymour_0910-1678\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no love like the love between a mother and a child,\u201d said Seymour, as Mother\u2019s Day approached.<\/p>\n

Family travel can provide excellent bonding experiences. I vividly recall my own mother Gladys taking me to Mackinac Island as well when I was young and to other Michigan vacation spots such as Houghton Lake and Irish Hills. When she chaperoned my seventh grade school field trip aboard a sightseeing ferry in the Detroit River between the Motor City and Windsor, Canada, I suppose that qualified as my first \u201cinternational cruise.\u201d<\/p>\n

And as for movies, though we saw the likes of Disney movies and not flicks like \u201cSomewhere in Time,\u201d my mother could make Saturday afternoon trips to movie matinees seem like adventures, too. Sometimes it\u2019s only possible to try to feel like you\u2019re on vacation when reality keeps you close to home. Walnut Hills Country Club, in East Lansing, is trying to answer that modern family-casual activity need to help people feel like they\u2019re \u201caway from it all.\u201d \u201cWe are where you can relax poolside while the kids splash and dive and you can have a tennis match with friends,\u201d says the golf club\u2019s website. Its\u2019 restaurant, \u201cCopper,\u201d with a sweeping, scenic view, is open to the public and offering a \u201cMother\u2019s Day Menu\u201d from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m.<\/span> featuring beet salad and bacon Brussels sprouts plus beef, pork, fish and shrimp among many offerings for Mom that day.<\/p>\n
