The Sheraton Carlsbad Resort & Spa treated 50 moms and more than 85 children to a special brunch on Mother's Day to thank them for their families' service.
The families were selected from Camp Pendleton; all of the fathers serve in the Marine Corps and are currently deployed overseas. The celebratory brunch took place in the resort's elegant Sunset Ballroom.
The hotel has deep connections to the military because much of the staff, including General Manager Stan Kaminski, are former military kids. The brunch served as a great opportunity for the hotel to show its support and appreciation of its new Camp Pendleton neighbors.
“We hope we made Mother's Day a little easier for these families whose dads are serving our country,” said Kaminski. “We are pleased to have been a part of this special day for these very special moms.”
The families were treated to an extravagant Spanish buffet, as well as given two tickets to both LEGOLAND California and the theme park's newest attraction, Sea Life, which is an aquarium that is scheduled to open next month. The Sheraton is located adjacent to LEGOLAND and a private entrance to the park will open this month.
The mothers who attended the brunch said they appreciated the event in their honor.
“The Sheraton provided us with a wonderful brunch and we are very, very grateful and excited to be here,” said Marine mom Gretchen Gannon. “The kids are excited for the free tickets to LEGOLAND, they love it and can't wait to go again.”
One lucky mom also won a drawing for a luxurious treatment at the resort's Ocean Pearl Spa, which offers several unique treatments in a sophisticated, yet comfortable setting. Another mom said she felt lucky just to spend the day with other women who are in similar situations with husbands overseas.
“We had a fantastic brunch at the Sheraton and a really fun day,” said Jane, who didn't give her last name.
Located at 5480 Grand Pacific Drive, the Sheraton Carlsbad Resort & Spa is a refreshing retreat with beautiful contemporary Mediterranean architecture and spectacular views of the coastline. The 250-room resort features 25,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting space, as well as the Twenty/20 Grill & Wine Bar.
