10.19.2012: Big Bear Daytrip

So Vince and I had stayed in CA this week to help out with Gramma & Papa duty during the week.  On Friday, I had the day off so decided to take Vince on a day trip!  There is so much of CA that he has never seen before, so thought it would be fun to make little daytrips when we had the opportunity to do so.  So, it being fall and all, I thought Big Bear would be a fun little getaway for the day.  The trees were changing colors, and the temp was perfect.....and Vince had never been there before!  It was gorgeous up there!!!!  The leaves were so amazing!!!  It was a beautiful day too.  We drove around the lake a little, then went to the downtown area where we walked around the little shops and restaurants.  We found a super cute place for lunch and had some wine & an amazing lunch! 

After lunch we drove around a little more and then went over to Lake Arrowhead.  I love the little Dutch looking village by the lake there with the shops and the restaurants. We did a little shopping and lots of walking!  There was a cute wine bar that we REALLY wanted to try out...but knew we needed to get back down the hill before the traffic hit so we got moving. It was such a great day up there though!!!  We really lucked out on the amazing weather and foliage.  Vince was impressed with how close of a great escape we had to our little Riverside :)
