Mothers Day

Mothers Day is on May 11th in the States, and there are lots of Mothers Day promotions on in the shops. My mum is due to fly home to NZ on the 11th, so we decided to celebrate it on Saturday 10th, since we have both our mothers with us, and I'm a new mother too!

We head for lunch at The Yogurt Place, sorry, El Yogurt Place (!). A great restaurant, overlooking the border fence and Estuary Park in San Diego. It has an emphasis on natural food, and is good for vegetarians like Ahmed's mum and me. It's very popular with the locals as well, but we figure we'll beat the Sunday/Mothers Day rush by going on Saturday. Ha ha, turns out Saturday 10th is Mothers Day in Mexico, so all the mothers are given roses on arrival, and as luck would have it, we're late enough in the day to get a table at this very busy restaurant.

So it was a very special day, my first ever mothers day as a mother, and with both our mothers present. Probably the only time that's likely to occur, given that we live so far apart normally.
