This Mother’s Day weekend take a trip over to Oakland to
experience lots of fun activities happening in Jack London Square.
For the active family members; there is the Family Cycling
Festival at the Sunday Farmer's Market featuring a Family Cycling Workshop with East Bay Bike Coalition , a
5-mile bike ride with Geared4Kids , a
kid-friendly bike decorating station and fix-it-yourself demos by Spokeland
Bike Co-Op.

Take to the water by booking a private small-boat
expedition on the Bay with the Square’s newest permanent resident; Bay Voyager, or take a sailing
lesson with J World Performance Sailing. Families
can also partake in a canoe or kayak tour of Oakland estuary with rentals
provided by California Canoe & Kayak
There are plenty of great places to stop and enjoy brunch
along the waterfront such as the Peruvian restaurant Bocanova, Il Pescatore Ristorante , Miss Pearl's Restaurant & Lounge and
my favorite; Miette to satisfy mom’s sweet tooth, or take stroll
around their Farmers market sampling a wide selection of fresh produce.

The kids can let off some steam running around the new
outdoor play area located in the Pavilion Plaza with state-of-the-art climbing
structures. The expanded green spaces and new outdoor seating area are perfect
for a family picnic with the goodies you found at the market. It is the ideal
way to spend some family time in the sunshine!
