Mama Kelce’s in vacation mode!

Travis Kelce’s mother, Donna, shared an Instagram video of her enjoying an outdoor meal with three pals at a waterside restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, last Friday.

“Great friends, impeccable service and a fantastic meal,” said the 71 year old’s post, which included pictures of plates of sumptuous looking food.

The retired banker also informed her followers she was headed out to the Bahamas, where, coincidentally, her NFL star son and Taylor Swift recently had a romantic getaway.

The divorced grandmother of three owns a condo in a neighborhood in Orlando, so only had to drive about three hours to Port Everglades, a major hub for cruise ships.

Kelce was first spotted in Orange County late last year at an area movie theater watching her son’s famous girlfriend in the “Eras Tour” film.

In the comments, followers asked the Cleveland native where she was dining, with a few thinking the eatery looked like Shooters. But lower down in the post, the Boatyard thanked her for the shout-out.

“Nautical chic restaurant with a seafood-centric menu and dockside patio lounge,” says the description on its website.

A few days later on Kelce’s page, you can see her posing by the anchored ship in Coco Cay.

Fans sent their best wishes to the football mom, who apparently has a gig with Celebrity Cruises.

“Well deserved.”

“Have a blast, sweet lady.”

“Living your best life!”
