Big Bear

In California, we have been seeing some big storms this month. It has been years since we have seen storms like the ones we have been experiencing. It is the perfect time to go out and take advantage of the snow. Head out to Big Bear.
You can go for a day or book a hotel or cabin for the weekend. There is much to see and whatever you don't get to see, can be saved for another day. You will have to check the Big Bear website for condition updates. On the website you will see if you need tire chains or not.
If you don't have snow wear then you can just dress in layers and pack a change of clothes including socks. Shoes are important since the snow will more than likely get inside your shoe and freeze your feet. You can get away with wearing rain boots just make sure to wear a pair of fluffy socks. You will not be able to resist the urge to have a snowball fight so pack some gloves otherwise your snowball fight will be cut short and your fingers will be in pain.
Once you are done with your snowball fights, you can go off and explore Big Bear. You can head straight for Big Bear Lake or to the different resorts. You can also go to Alpine Slide at Magic Mountain. There is something for everyone. There are concerts at The Cave, snowboarding, hiking, fishing, snowshoeing, airplane tours, horseback riding, jetskiing, kayaking, segway tours, and much more. If the great outdoors is just not for you, then there are many restaurants and stores. There is a wide array of lakefront restaurants, a personal favorite is the Himalayan Restaurant which has cuisine from Nepal and India, there are many delicious plates to choose from such as my addiction, Lamb Masala. There are also indoor arcades, laser tag, and spas. For those looking for something more exciting during the night time, there is a nightclub located on Pine Knot, there is a DJ, dancing, and plenty of cocktails. If you are looking for something more educating, then there is Big Bear Alpine Zoo and the Big Bear Historical Museum.
The only problems I experience while at Big Bear, is parking. I suggest you plan to arrive before 10 am so that parking is not that difficult to find. There are plenty of places to park, they just are filled up quickly. Other than parking make sure you have some good footwear and some gloves.

LA County Arboretum & Botanic Garden

Seems like these days everyone is out hiking and outdoors taking fantastic pictures. Usually you have to drive a couple hours to get to a great hiking location and you end up having to tread up a mountain. Once you get to the top, your heart hurts and you are sweating bullets. It is fun and you take amazing pictures.

It is located in a very urban area but once inside the Arboretum you no longer feel as if you are in the city. The Arboretum is 127 acres of plants, natural landscapes, wildlife, historical buildings, sitting areas, and plenty o...
