I get two Mother's Days in Costa Rica. The one I grew up celebrating in May and the one that is celebrated throughout the entire country in August. Obviously, I know how lucky I am to have two celebrations that acknowledge my hard work as a mother. And it feels nice to be celebrated, whatever the reason.
Mother's Day in May is a little more meaningful to me, however, so that is the celebration I look forward to the most. With all the hoopla surrounding Mother's Day in August in Costa Rica, I get to celebrate quietly with my family without all the extra to do.
Don't get me wrong, I like the extras but since I get all that in August, I take my day in May a little more serenely. This year, hubby found the cutest little cafe to celebrate me on my day. We headed to Rohmoser, about a 30 minute drive across San Jose and took in the sights while we were at it.
Hubby, my daughter and I had the most adorable time at Cafe a la Moda and I cannot wait to go back. First off, the menu was a huge reason we chose Cafe a la Moda. And it did not disappoint.
They even had games for us to play while we waited on our food to arrive. We played Uno together and then hubby and my daughter played a pretty interesting game of Chess. The food, once it arrived, was delicious. The Vanpire Mismosa was divine, and the staff was pretty amazing too. It was one of the best Mother's Day meals I'd ever had.
This year, I'm glad my Mother's Day turned out the way it did because come August, I'll be living it up big time in Jamaica, missing out on my second mom's day celebration.
