Families treat mom to brunch, cruises for Mother's Day

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Sunday is a picture-perfect day to celebrate mothers and families across the city did just that, gifting anything from a cruise down the Delaware River to brunch and a show.

City Winery hosted a special Mother's Day brunch with mimosas and live music from Minas, a Philadelphia jazz group that covers the Beatles.

Families traveled from all over to be with moms on their special day.

"We're all coming from different sections. She was coming from New York with my daughter, and we thought Philly would be a good meeting point," said Mumby Green from Baltimore.

Three generations of her family met up at the winery to celebrate their matriarch.

"It's very special. She's 90-and-a-half. She'll be 91 in August, and we're just letting her live her best life!" Green said of her mother.

"Moms do everything. Like, where we would be without our moms? Our moms are awesome," said General Manager Ted Ridings.

Customers who traveled from across the country to see their moms also agreed.

"She's an inspiration to me. She's given me so many great values, just important knowledge that I use to guide my decisions," said Margy McCook from Florida.

City Winery wasn't the only place offering Mother's Day specials.

Spirit of Philadelphia hosted four cruises for Mother's Day. Moms got a flower, brunch, cocktails, and a trip to see the best views of the city alongside their loved ones.

Mother's Day outings like this happened all over the city.

"Just celebrate each other. They're all mothers, every one of us, and to come together and share that is always a blessing," said Marquita Bailey from Logan.
