Be honest with her. Tell her you thought the trip was supposed the gift to each other. Yeah, you are still wrong but I think she would rather hear the truth.

I f'd up Mother's Day for my wife this year. No gift, just a card. I tried to fix things by offering to take her shopping for something nice. No, uh uh. I received an email from her telling me how she felt like we didn't care, etc. I apologized several times but you can't undo stupid.

For her birthday, I bought her a nice gift AND surprised her while on a visit to my hometown.

We'll be married for 8 years on the 29th. We've already discussed that we are only getting each other cards. We are trying to plan for a dinner out at her favorite restaurant. If the babysitter works out, we'll go.
