For more than sixty years, Mother Nature has transformed the rolling hills of North San Diego County into one of the most spectacular and coordinated displays of natural color and beauty anywhere in the world. The nearly fifty acres of Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers that make up the Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch in Carlsbad, California, are in bloom for approximately eight to ten weeks each year - from early March through early May - literally bringing the famous fields back to life. This annual burst of color, which has become part of the area’s local heritage, also is one of nature’s official ways of announcing the arrival of spring here in Southern California.

Make this Mother’s Day truly unforgettable with an exquisite brunch at Dockside 1953, an iconic waterfront restaurant offering stunning bay views and a buffet to please every palate. Indulge in delicious waffles, made-to-order omelets, fresh seafood, decadent desserts, and more, all in a picturesque waterfront setting. To make the day even more special, moms will receive a complimentary glass of sparkling wine and a long-stem rose.

Take a scenic two-hour Memorial Day Premier Brunch Cruise in San Diego and cruise across the Bay. While on board you’ll enjoy an impressive brunch buffet, bottomless bubbly and complimentary domestic beer, and so much more! This relaxing bay brunch cruise includes a buffet stocked with classic American breakfast dishes, plus plenty of seasonal lunch entrées and richly decadent desserts. Cruise past amazing San Diego sights including the Coronado Bay Bridge, the Star of India, the North Island Naval Station, and the barking sea lions at Point Loma.
