Our Trip to Wrightwood

There is nothing more that I have wanted but to head up a mountain & play in the snow. Is it just me or do our winters seem to be getting warmer every year? Anyway, on Matt's day off this past Friday, he finally caved & took me to the mountains. We drove up the 15 to Wrightwood. A tiny town best known for it's Mt. High Resort. Cute little place with only a few shops & restaurants. We looked to Yelp for some guidance & found ourselves at The Grizzly Cafe for lunch, I had a really good Bloody Mary& fish & chips. Service was great, our server was the sweetest & so attentive. If you ever find yourself in Wrightwood, I recommend this place.

If you plan on visiting these snowy mountains this season I highly recommend a good jacket & gloves. Being from Orange County I yearn for a real Winter season & boy did I get that on this visit! Temperatures were in the high teens & my nose felt like it was going to fall off. I still enjoyed it so much. After lunch we drove around looking for a good spot to play & try building a snow man, that was a fail on account of the snow being pure powder & without good snow gloves our hands froze the instant we touched the cold snow. I had fun just being there with Matt, taking photos & holding on to my hot chocolate. We explored a few different places before heading back home. Here are some of the photos I took.

I tried throwing a snow ball at Matt but it just turned to dust in the wind (anyone get that reference?)

Matt & I really want to take up snowboarding. I have been a few times & really liked it so I can't wait to try it with him. We'll most likely wait for the next season so I am already looking forward to next winter. What are some of your favorite activities or favorite places to visit in the winter? Whatever it is you are doing, stay warm & drink lots of hot chocolate.
