Past the firepit, down that hall, press the elevator button, and go up two floors. That's the route we took to our paradise last weekend.
I hope you will get to stay there sometime. You'll love it!
What a fabulous way to spend your Mother's Day!
Do they have this at Boma, I wonder? I know it is so good, and we have a Boma ADR for this summer.
I don't think so. I've only eaten at Boma once though and it was 5 years ago, so they might and I'm just not remembering it. They do, however, have the very famous zebra domes!
So cool that you got to spend time alone with Mom. Even when our kids have kids, us moms like to have one-on-one time with our kids still.
This is the 2nd trip we have taken, just the two of us. Even though we live close to each other we're both so busy that it's rare for us to get to spend much time together, so this was really nice. I have a good friend who just burried her mother on Friday, so that really drove home the point that it's so important to enjoy each other while you can.
GREAT start to your vacation (aside from a few bumps in the road
)
The pool looks amazing! I am sure it was nice on a hot day!
Jiko looks awesome!! Your food seemed very, very yummy
I am just dying to find out if the guy was naked...oh my goodness
CSRs pool is very nice, and quite refreshing when it's so hot out!
I would highly recommend Jiko, it was sooooo good.
Love the update! I love the pool at the CSR (sorry it was crowded though). You and your mom look so pretty at your dinner at Jiko. I love the pic of your mom in front of the giraffe on the wall. We've got breakfast ADR's at Boma, and I want to find that wall and have my pic there...I love giraffes.
I don't think you'll have any trouble finding that giraffe wall. If you just go straight through the lobby and out the back doors to the overlook area they have several little paths around where you can observe the animals, we found that bench and the wall on one of those paths.
First, I gotta say, you and your mom are so pretty!
I just think it is so wonderful when adult children do things like this with their parents. I lost my dad when I was 9 and my mom when I was 29. Although I was very close to her, we never traveled together and I wish we had. I plan on making it a priority with my two!
Ewww to the grease in the chips. That's just nasty.
The pool does look crowded. Almost like ours at spring break week.
Jiko looks really nice! John caught a glimpse of your food porn and was like "where's that???"
Naked...guy....
I'm sorry you lost your parents at such a young age. I have a really good friend who is just 33, she burried her mom on Friday and her dad about 10 years ago. No one should be without their parents when they are so young.
Inside the pool wasn't too bad, there were alot more people on the other side where the slide is. There we just alot of people sitting in the chairs, much more than what were actually in the water.
You guys should try Jiko sometime if you haven't already, it was great!
Love the picture of your Mom on the bench at Jambo!! I never, ever tire of seeing pictures of the lobby
You also got pictures of one of my favorite safari animals which is now apparently on the savanna....the bondebot? I think that is what they are called or something like that....I noticed them the last day when I was on the balcony at Kidani
So happy you enjoyed Jiko....isn't the sauce under the macaroni so good? Mmmmmm!! I had three filets that week and I am all mooed out
Tracy
I'm not sure of the name of that animal, but I thought he was really cool looking!
The steak, the macaroni, the sauce, it was all good. At first I thought mac & cheese was an odd pairing with a steak, but once I tasted it that thought was gone. I'm typically not a big beef eater myself, but I had two steaks that week - I totally get being all mooed out!
