Snow Summit Part ll

Once again Bill and I made it up to the mountains! we left for big bear on Monday night.

After we checked into our fancy hotel (motel 6) we headed off to grab some dinner. (i swear the whole town closes at sun-down) We found this cute little Italian place called Paoli's. There we enjoyed antipasto salad and a pizza. (we figured we splurge since we were going to go snowboarding in the morning) i also enjoyed a very large cup of hot chocolate...


We headed back to the motel after dinner, were we watched some tv and i finished knitted my scarf (which i matched to my snow boarding jacket and pants... yah i know ridiculous) Once i was done with that we hit the hay. Game plan for tomorrow, wake up grab breakfast and be on the slopes by 8:30.....

Lets just say tuesday didn't go as planned.....

yes we woke up in time, but with neither of us sleeping really well that night before, i waking up a couple of times, bill tossing and turning ALL night long, we decided it best to catch 45 more mins. By the time bill and i were up and showered and ready to go.... it was already 10am. We headed out to grab a quick breakfast at Ihop. As we drove to the slopes we assessed the situation and came up with a NEW game plan.

-it was already almost noon
-we still had to go and rent my board/boots
-it was 60 degrees out = slushy snow

we decided to just skip out on snowboarding this trip and instead walk about the village then head home.

it was a fun trip despite not actually making onto the slopes (the reason we came in the first place) but now we have another reason to head back, after all we need to find out if that wonderful interesting lesson ever paid off, lastly i got some really good photos this trip!

So fun!!! I love that you guys go up snowboarding so much. And that cup of Hot Cocoa looks like my kind of Hot chocolate. Mmm. Glad you got away for a weekend.
