More Big Bear Pictures!

Finally... SNOW! at Big Bear Lake

January 16, 2 008. We leave for Manila the next day and there's still one more thing we haven't done on our "To Do" list: See snow! And so RT, with children M and B, brought us to Big Bear Mountain, around 1.5 hours from Anaheim.

We had lunch at Mandoline Bistro (40701 Village Dr., Big Bear, CA 92315, Tel: (909) 866-4200), a romantic restaurant set in a chalet. Its specialties are "fusion" salads and appetizers such as the Seared Ahi Tuna Thai Salad , and twists on Italian cuisine such as the Tequila Chicken Fettuccine.

We walked around the Village and found the perfect place for our dessert: North Pole Fudge and Ice Cream Co. --- and I had this heavenly choco mint fudge!

And then we drove by the lake and took a lot of beautiful pictures!

Thanks RT, M and B! It was such a fantastic experience!
