Mother’s Day

“Close that door! Were you born in a barn?” “Be careful or you’ll poke your eye out!” “Don’t make that face or it’ll freeze in that position.” “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.”

Mothers have been giving us their advice for as long as we can remember and we finally realize they were looking out for our best interest and we probably should’ve listened more than we did.

San Diego provides the perfect climate to celebrate Mother’s Day, a delicious array of restaurants and plenty of beautiful sights to see. Here are some great ides to create a special and memorable Mother’s Day…
