1) Brunch and Bubbles
Nothing says celebration like popping a bottle of champagne. Add a splash of OJ and stack of pancakes and you're set for a day of exciting plans. Fuel up for a day of fun with a bottomless brunch with mom. Choose from a local favorite breakfast and brunch stop, like Brunch Paso or AMSTRDM Coffee House | Piano Lounge, or head to one of the many wineries offering specialty brunches. She'll thank you from the bottom of her heart, and the bottom of her mimosa. For the sweet tooth, don't forget to stop by Just Baked at the Paso Market Walk for a freshly baked, sweet treat – they're serving up specials for Mother's Day including a "Mom's Birthday Cake" cupcake and a "Brunch" cupcake.
