Big Bear Lake, CA

To celebrate Mitch's graduation, we took a trip to get some much deserved rest and relaxation.  We got away from it all by going up into the mountains to Big Bear Lake, CA.  This is the first time I have been there and it is gorgeous!!  Being in the mountains reminded me of home.  Luckily, we had plenty of opportunities to take in the view as our hotel was right on the lake.  Here is the view from our balcony:

 The weather was perfect while we were there, so we were able to take advantage and go hot tubing, walk around the village, and take a cruise of the lake.  On the cruise, we discovered that we were staying a few doors down from Britney Spear's house.  Here is a picture of her "small" cottage:

A few doors down from Britney is the man who is the voice of Bugs Bunny.  As we cruised by his house he came out on his deck and yelled hello at us in true Bugs Bunny fashion.  Here is the boat we were on and us on the cruise:

 So fun!!  We also, sat on the beach, went bowling, and saw the new Pirates movie.  It was a much needed get away and we definitely made the most of it!!
