New Year Trip: Big Bear

Its the New Year... Working long hours... with hardly any sleep. I deserved a trip dod gammit LOL! So we decided to take an impromptu trip to Big Bear on January 2, 2010. It's been years since I've been on the snow... I was really excited. We decided to take this impromptu trip not just to get away, but to scout out areas where we can take our friends.


At Starbucks on the foothills of the mountain

We decided to stop by Starbucks on the way before we head up the 1 hour drive up the mountain. The area was very suburban. Not that many cars on the streets. A lot of "non colored" people. I felt like a minority haha. I was so happy to see a Taco Bell nearby and brought peace to my mind and eased my anxiety. I thought I was gonna stranded in Hicksville like in those movies.


Welcome to Big Bear

Eating before we scout the place

My future vacation home

We saw this little area down the way called Magic Mountain. Haha... It's this little snow field area where you can go sledding and slide in the snow.


Taking a ride on the Alpine Slide

This looked fun

My first time on a lift...

We got hungry immediately right after snowing and shopping, haha. We headed out to some Grill.. It got a 4 star rating I think. And i think it lied, haha. They were a bit understaffed. The wait was like 30 minutes long. And they didnt take our order til 10 minutes after we were seated. Not even a glass of water... The waitress was nice though... They didnt get a fat tip thats all I can say.... haha.


Sauces, Sauces
