Big Bear Fun

This weekend was a nice change from the norm.  SoCal has many beautiful places all within an hour drive from our home.  We made our way up the mountain this time with our destination a cabin in the woods.  After temps in the 100's last week it was a welcome relief to feel cool breezes, and hints of fall in the air.  The drive up was interesting.  I have never in my life been on such a curvy road that climbed from 3000 feet to 7000 in about 25 miles.  The GPS showed more turns up ahead and as the deep heavy breathes from the backseat got deeper and longer, I became worried that we may have a mess on our hands pretty fast.  After a switcheroo of the seats, and a brief stop for some fresh air all was well, everyone managed to keep everything down, thankfully! 
It seems as though everyone in the family had a good time, and would like to go again.  I don't think we would want to attempt the drive in the snow though, it's too steep and windy and the roads are pretty narrow.  Not my idea of a good time!  Out of all our mountain adventures, I would say this is the toughest to get to, and the easiest mountain trek was the one to Banff.  I must say that Banff is a favorite, but thankful to have access to such a beautiful landscape of mountains and a lake in Big Bear.
Looking forward to my appointment at the end of the week...hoping this Dr. will be good and I won't have to find another.  Feeling pretty good this weekend, tired but good!
