Happy Mother's Day to all mothers everywhere! Hope your day was a grand one!!
For Mother's Day, I got to wake up at 6:00am and be on the road to Ames by 7:00am! Mom, Jenny, and I didn't have any "definite" plans for this day, so Derek wanted us to come to Ames and eat at his restaurant. I was up for this idea since I have never eaten there
before -- drank there before, but have not eaten there! The name of the restaurant is Aunt Maude's and it is located on Main Street. Derek has worked there for almost as long as he has been living in Ames. Aunt Maude's usually isn't open on Sundays, but they do have a brunch menu for some holidays. The Mother's Day Brunch menu did not disappoint... omelettes, french toast, pancakes, biscuits and gravy, steak burgers... I had the Denver omelette with hashbrowns and it was out of this world! I couldn't even eat it all!! After eating, the nine of us piled into two cars and went to check out the mall -- pretty much has a lot of the same stores that Sioux City has in their mall. The rest of the afternoon was spent relaxing at Derek's just watching TV, visiting, and playing cards. Since most of us had a 3+ hour drive home, we decided to leave just before 5:00pm to get home at a decent time since it was a "school night". Oh, I almost forgot... Mom drove herself to Ames today!!! This was her first time driving on an interstate in 70 mph traffic! She did just fine! We are very proud of her!!! Mom followed us home and we stopped in Webster City at McDonald's for supper. Brianna was riding in Mom's car with her so she could have some company on the drive, so Mom had to stop again in Rockwell City so Brianna could get back in our car, since Mom was turning north and we were going to continue heading west. We got home about 8:30pm -- Brianna and I went straight to bed! The long drive there and back in one day must have worn us out!! All in all, it was a great Mother's Day!
