Big Bear Lake

Talk about the most relaxing vacation ever! We did nothing when we were in Big Bear Lake, and have never had more fun. We arrived there Tuesday at noon, and left Saturday morning. The main portion of our days was spent in bed playing war! Jesse beat me almost every game! And, I have never played such long games of War in my life! I swear one game lasted about 2 hours. We didn't really start our day until about 930 every morning when we would get up, and go right out for breakfast. We would take a walk down to the lake after that, immediately followed by an hour or two in the cabin. Then on to lunch, and a drive around some of the smaller towns up there, followed by another hour or two in the cabin. Nothing crazy, just a lot of relaxation! I loved this little ol' cabin that we stayed in. There was a little section of town called The Village where there was lots of shops for tourists that we liked to walk around as well. We found this little arcade where they had fun games like Donkey Kong Jr, Dig Dug, Frogger, Streetfighter, and games like that. After I suggested spending some time there, I knew it was a mistake once Jesse got on that Streetfighter game! Boy, can't get him away from it. :) If anyone has ever been to the City of Big Bear Lake, they will know what I'm talking about when I say that I was not real happy when we left Barstow to head up the Mountain. Everywhere was desert! I just kept thinking, "If this place is desert, I'm going home!" I did not want to spend our vacation in the desert....We live in the desert! I wanted cool Mountain air, and a little green around. Turns out once we go up this crazy jagged mountain, and pass Baldwin lake, it turns green! I was so happy, and even happier when I saw that there was a Rite Aid up there for some nice Thrifty ice cream. Most of you reading this will know that we no longer have Rite Aids in the State of Nevada, so you see my excitement! On Thursday night we discovered this place called Teddy Bear Restaurant. I was loving it, and you can see from the picture above, that Jesse was too~ I had a stuffed meatloaf, and he had this ginormous chicken pot pie. We shared a chocolate shake, and a peach cobbler as well! Loved that place. I'm pretty sure that I gained at least 5 lbs on this trip thanks to that place! That's all I have to say for now. Loved the vacation, and hope everyone is doing well!
