Tickets are a good deal and it\u2019ll get everyone outside enjoying the beautiful Corvallis spring weather.<\/p>\n<p>Movies: Catch a matinee or even a late night flick! There are some romantic comedies like The Big Wedding or tonight\u2019s release of Iron Man 3 (sure to be a crowd pleaser with the mom\u2019s because who can\u2019t resist Robert Downey Jr).<\/p>\n<p>Wine\/Beer Tasting: Over 21 and looking for the fun? Drive a little ways out of town and enjoy the MANY vineyards we have in the valley. Most have websites so check out their tasting hours or even a vineyard tour.(Here\u2019s the site for one of my favorites: Willamette Valley Vineyards <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wvv.com\/visit\/\">http:\/\/www.wvv.com\/visit\/<\/a>). Also, if you are more of a beer drinker head over to Block 15 (<a href=\"http:\/\/block15.com\/\">http:\/\/block15.com\/<\/a>) or even try some Corvallis brewed cider at Two Towns Ciderhouse (<a href=\"http:\/\/2townsciderhouse.com\/\">http:\/\/2townsciderhouse.com\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Spa day: Go to one of the local salons and get treated to massages, manicures, pedicures, or even a new hair style!<\/p>\n<p>Deals and Steals: Be on the lookout for specials or events at local businesses specifcally for mom\u2019s and family weekend. Many places will give you an extra 20% off or even free desserts.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever you end up doing with your mom or family, make sure you show them the best of Corvallis and give them the royal treatment!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Katy Krieger Looking for something fun to do with your mom and family this weekend?
