Are you like me, did you grow up missing your mom while she was right there in front of you? The unsung hero of the home, mom's are often left behind in the shuffle of school, friends, and the tempest that surrounds us, a tempest that seems excruciatingly important at the time. If so, no worries, mom's love unconditionally and are the most forgiving people, they just want to spend time with you and what better way than breaking bread together in a spectacular setting where she can choose brunch favorites from tables laden with southern favorites!
The gorgeous Tampa Marriott Waterside Hotel & Marina invites you and your mom to their table this year and oh, what a table it is! This is my favorite place to spend Mother's Day with my family, and this year they've done it again with an inspired menu including several favorites. For me, Sinai's Buttermilk Biscuits are a pure piece of heaven on earth!
Tradition or lifestyle, whatever you want to call it we thoroughly enjoy Mother's Day each year at The Waterside! Their location to things to do in Tampa is simply ridiculous, here is a list of some of the things we've done after Mother's Day Brunch past years:
- The Tampa Marriott Spa is extraordinary - for more info read Finding Sanctuary at the Waterside Spa in Downtown Tampa
- Tampa Bay History Center - currently exhibiting "Finding Fairyland: Rediscovering Tampa’s Lost Theme Park"
- Pirate Water Taxi - Take the tour up the river and back down, it's a great way to spend time together and relax while digesting the scenery. Mom's ride FREE!
- The Sail Pavilion - Where you can rent an electric boat, kayak, or a water bike from Tampa Bay Water Bike Co.
- Glazer Children's Museum - Mom's get in FREE with a paid admission on Mother's Day.
- Tampa Riverwalk - Perfect for people watching, playing on the interactive art and walking off those calories in a vibrant setting.
- Champions - Catch the game on the BIGGEST TV in Tampa in the Marriott.
- Florida Aquarium - Mom's get in free this year with another paid admission.
- TECO Line Streetcar System - Kids and adults love the Streetcar, and there is a station just outside.
- New this year at The Marriott - Urban Kai Stand-Up Paddleboarding (Pack your suits and sunscreen to give this a try!)
Consistently rising above the rest, Tampa Marriott Waterside Hotel & Marina has never disappointed. Their food is phenomenal, the service fast and friendly and the view is outstanding. After 11 am on Sunday you can order from a distinguished list of local craft beers, or choose a hand--crafted cocktail --- Waterside won the 2016 Tampa Bay Bloody Mary Competition!
If your party includes little ones Waterside Grill is family-friendly, safe and secure. Children under 12 are only $19 for brunch, adults are $40. Serving their southern-style brunch from 11 am to 4 pm you want to call 813-204-6313 to make your reservations today.
Look for me, I am easy to find, my youngest is now 6'10"; please feel free to stop by and say hello, oh and if you see me on the SUP, I will most likely be the one falling off repeatedly, but that does not change a thing, this is my weekend, and I'm going with what I know, The always 5-star Tampa Marriott Waterside, it is THE place to be come Sunday.
