Almost Heaven, Big Bear


Okay, it isn't West Virgina and it isn't even close to the Canadian Rockies, but it's only a two hour drive and they have rocks, trees and a lake. Mark and I needed a break and we both had a three day weekend last week so we headed for the San Bernardino Mountains. We rented a little cottage right beside the main highway (we'll know better next time). We did some hiking - well some walking up hill for a couple of miles - and while Mark fished I scrapbooked on a picnic table beside the cottage, read my book and walked around the lake to admire the many million dollar "cottages". We ate crackers and cheese and drank wine. It was perfect. Well it would have been perfect if Mark had caught a trout for dinner. So now we have to go back to catch the one that got away. I think we'll aim for October - the crowds should be gone by then.

Sounds like the closest thing to the rockies!! I'll bet it wasn't as hot as the trip we girls took today to the county on a trolley from the outlet mall to two wineries, tastings and lunch and to an orchard which I did'nt do!! Left at noon and got back at five!!95F. Nothing much new here!! Love Mom
