We went to Big Bear Lake for 4 days. It was a wonderful vacation and we had a great time!
While in Big Bear, I didn't check my email, checked my Facebook only once and obviously, didn't post any photos on my Blog... I was truly on vacation!
So this post is a re-cap of our four days;
We arrived Saturday, around lunch time. We didn't know this, but on that day, their was a Bike race!
Our cabin was located just past the "Village". But there was a lot of traffic and we actually had to take a detour to find it. We finally had lunch at about 2:00 PM; We were all starving!
We ate at a Mexican restaurant called: El Jacalito.
We also checked out the beaches around the lake and found a dog beach! Naturally, we took the dogs there later in the afternoon...
On Sunday, we went Jet Skiing with Greg (yes, he came with us to Big Bear). While the weather was beautiful, the lake was pretty crowded which made for "choppy" conditions. We still had a great time!
That evening, we had "S'Mores"! Due to the Fire Danger being on "High" this time of year, we couldn't make a fire in a pit. So we had to be creative and used the BBQ at the cabin...
Monday was probably the most memorable day... We went hiking in the morning and boating in the late afternoon. We took the "Sky Chair" at Snow Summit to get to the top of the mountain and hiked down. Beautiful views all around and plenty of exercise!
We chartered a boat for three hours: 4:30 PM to 7:30 PM.
The kids went tubing and Christina and Anthony tried "wakeboarding". Nicholas pulled a muscle a few weeks ago and didn't want to take the chance to re-injure himself so he stayed off the wakeboard. And Allan did a little water skiing also.
It was fun to watch as the kids saw their old dad water skiing! They were so impressed!
Finally, on Tuesday morning, Nicholas, Greg, Rocky and myself went for a hike in the beautiful woods surrounding the lake.
When we got back, all of us went for a canoe ride on the lake. It was a fun activity that we could all do and that we all wanted to try.
We left after lunch and have been talking about going back ever since we got back!
