ATLANTA

If you are celebrating Mother's Day in the Atlanta area you may consider treating mom to brunch at Dunwoody's Villa Christina. The immaculately manicured gardens are the perfect place to enjoy a Mother's Day feast. Villa Christina features a stone Italian villa, a stone terrace, rose gardens, streams and waterfalls. Your mom can dine amidst the natural beauty on delicacies including market-fresh seafood, carved-to-order prime rib, and a host of homemade desserts. What's more, you can tack on a special gift for the woman who made you the center of her life with the Villa's special Mother's Day photo package---this Mother's Day the Villa is teaming up with a local photographer to offer family portraits taken on-site for less than the cost of the meal (a $300 value for just $40). Brunch costs $45 per person.

If you plan to stick closer to home this Mother's Day, I would suggest checking out your city's most popular family-friendly attractions. For example, most zoos, botanical gardens, and aquariums provide free admission to moms on Mother's Day.
