The Latest Flash for May 4-10, 2009

Cinco de Mayo falls on a Tuesday this year, but you are still welcome to take part in the festivities at our two favorite Mira Mesa Mexican Restaurants! On The Boarder is located on the corner of Mira Mesa Blvd. and Westview Parkway, and El Torito is located near Camino Ruiz on Mira Mesa Blvd. Both restaurants have great Mexican food, but the real fun takes place in the Cantina. Grab a margarita, and I’ll see you there!

The Mira Mesa Women’s Club is hosting their Chalk the Walk event at the Mira Mesa Gil Johnson Recreation Center this Saturday, May 9 from 9-4. Artists of every age and skill level will be present to dazzle us with their sidewalk chalk creations. Representatives from your local Mira Mesa Town Council, Chamber of Commerce, Women’s Club and several other groups will be in attendance, and it will be a fun day for the whole community. Admission is free, and the money raised by the event sponsors stays in our community.  For more information, use this link to the Women’s Club Website.

The Red Bull Air Race is taking place this weekend, May 9 & 10 in the blue skies over the Embarcadero. Last year over 65,000 fans enjoyed the air races, and this year should be even better! The top racers had a heated contest recently, and there is sure to be a race to the finish at the San Diego event. You can find out more information at the Red Bull Air Race website.

Let’s not forget that Sunday, May 10 is Mother’s Day. Take Mom out for dinner at her favorite restaurant, or give her a little quiet time with a spa day. You can find some creative ideas right here with my Top 10 Mother’s Day Gift Ideas list. Happy Mother’s Day everyone!
