What To Do for Mother’s Day in Jacksonville, Florida

April 29, 2010 by Susanne Talentino

It’s an action-packed week with the Players Championship at  TPC Sawgrass, followed closely by everyone’s favorite celebration – Cinco de Mayo on Wednesday.  Then on Sunday it’s time for Mother’s Day.

Most people I’ve spoken to usually take Mom out for breakfast, brunch or dinner. Some moms with more than one child gets to go out and eat all day, the biggest problem seems to be to agree on who is handling what meal.  Keep in mind that some restaurants get really busy on Mother’s Day and opt for reservations.  But if you want to do something a little bit different this year without spending all your hard earned money,  stick with me.  I have found activities in Jacksonville both  you and your mother can enjoy.

Museum of Contemporary Art MOCA Jacksonville FloridaContemporary Art
Sunday is always “Family Free Sunday” at MOCA Jacksonville, so if your Mom likes art and you have a big group, a trip to the Museum of Contemporary Art in downtown Jacksonville could just be the ticket. Also Cafe Nola has a special Mother’s Day Brunch which includes free mimosas. My mom would really enjoy that.   (Reservations are strongly suggested for Cafe Nola.
Visit www.MOCAjacksonville.org for more information.

Home & Garden Tour
The 32nd Annual Tour of Homes and Gardens in Springfield is going on all weekend. The tour takes you to some of the most beautiful historic homes in Springfield and the tour also includes tea in Henrietta’s Tearoom in the SPAR building, 1321 N Main Street.  If you like you can upgrade your ticket to include a dinner, which seems like it’s a really good deal.  Choose from 10 restaurants and bars in the Springfield area that will provide discounts. You will also receive a free beer from the Bier Garden during the Home Tour.
I would really enjoy that!

On Sunday May 9th the tour takes place from 1:00 pm until 4:00 pm.

Driving Miss Daisy
Another way to see historic Springfield is to participate in the  historic bike tour.   My Mom is probably not that interested in riding her bike around Springfield – even though it’s a free tour –  so she’ll be relieved to know that the tour takes place already  on Saturday May 8th at 10:00 am.  A more suitable activity for my mother is to  sit down in the air conditioned theater with a nice cold Pepsi watching the play  “Driving Miss Daisy” by Stage Aurora.

This is a heart-warming story and I would enjoy the performance, but mom  would probably take it the wrong way and think I’m trying to point out how old she is.  Now when I think about it,  a better idea is to take mom to the Florida Theater where the king of blues himself, B.B.King, is performing.   He is 84 years old but still going strong, and he takes the stage at 8:00 pm on Sunday May 9th.    (For more information about B.B. King, click here)

Free Mother’s Day Concert at the Beach
I’d suggest heading to Jacksonville Beach on Mother’s Day.  Here you can enjoy a live performance with the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra at Sea Walk Pavilion.  You can get everyone in the car and “drive your Miss Daisy” to Jax Beach for a great evening under the stars.  The event area opens at 5:00 pm.  At 5:45 pm Jacksonville Mass Choir performs To Michael with Love – The Songs of Michael Jackson. The Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra takes the stage at 7:30 PM performing music from the movies, the opera, Broadway and the concert hall.  Don’t forget to bring a lawn chair or a picnic blanket for mom to sit on.   You could even turn the whole Mother’s Day dinner into a outdoor picnic.  Gather the family, make a big outing and a great impression while saving money, after all this is a free concert.

The Players Championship 2010 at TPC Sawgrass, Ponte Vedra

April 28, 2010 by Susanne Talentino

The 2010 THE PLAYERS Championship at the TPC Sawgrass takes place on May 6th – 9th, 2010, in Ponte Vedra Beach.

golfThe creation of TPC Sawgrass as host to THE PLAYERS was based on a few unique concepts. First, it would be the permanent home of THE PLAYERS, and it would be owned by the player. The course would be built with spectators in mind creating the first true “Stadium Course,” designed especially for the  fan experience.  Then the TPC would be a course of great design and character accessible all all golf fans. All these ideas were combined into the design.

The famous golf course architect Pete Dye was assigned the task. Commissioner Deane Beman wanted a course design that would favor no particular player or style of play. To meet this goal, an extensive effort was made to design a balanced golf course. There had to be a selection of short, medium and long holes within the categories of par-3s, par-4s and par-5s. There had to be both right and left doglegs. The course routing was laid out so no two consecutive holes ever played in the same direction.

Cinco de Mayo in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

April 28, 2010 by Susanne Talentino

Myrtle Beach is getting ready for the big party and you are invited. Come to downtown Myrtle Beach for the Rock’n The Beach Cinco de Mayo Celebration, which is South Carolina’s Largest.

Cinco de MayoThere will be regional entertainment, competitions, music, dancing, and great food. You definitely don’t want to miss the Air Guitar Competition, even if you don’t participate, it is a spectator sport.
The organizers are also holding a Cook-Off Caliente Style, whatever that means, but we always enjoy food events. You just can’t celebrate Cinco de Mayo without good food. Speaking of food, how about the Man VS Cinco de Mayo food challenge? If you ever watched one of those shows and said “I know I could eat that”, this one is for you.

We filmed the Wienerdog Race in Savannah and this event has its own version of that, but of course, for Cinco de Mayo instead the event has a Chihuahua race instead. That sounds like so much fun, I can’t wait.

And best of all…this is a free community event.

The Cinco de Mayo celebration takes place on May 8th, from 1pm-10pm, 8th Ave. North – 9th Ave. North Ocean Blvd, Myrtle Beach, SC.

Beach Bum Parade 2010 – Tybee Island, Georgia

April 27, 2010 by Susanne Talentino

Tybee Island Beach Bum parade is not your ordinary parade. This one is unique and special. The parade itself really understands how to celebrate the beginning of summer and is something something locals and maybe especially the younger crowd long for every year. Why? It’s simple. It’s all about fun and play.

Tybee Island Beach Bum parades is like most others consisting of floats pulled behind cars and trucks. The difference is that on Tybee this is a playful water-play event for all ages between floats and spectators lined up along Butler Avenue. Spectators arm themselves with bucket, squirt guns and other water spraying weapons. This is your chance to get wet before you even set foot on the beach!

Tybee Island is located just outside Savannah, Georgia. The parade takes place on May 21, 2010 and starts at 6 p.m.
