Mountain Bliss

We were so fortunate to have spent a long weekend in this lovely, cozy little cabin in Idyllwild , courtesy of a very generous family. What a way to get~away! Oh the bliss of no obligations other than the basics, warm food and drinks, keeping the fire going, and spending quality time with your family. I just loved doing what I call, "tuning out"..... from the TV, the Computer, the Blackberry, the constant driving! There is much to be said about living a simple life, and that is what we did for 3 days. It was just so peaceful and relaxing, not to mention, quiet. There was also, fun to have, fun in the snow that is ! Chloe and Blake got to experience their first snowfall, first time waking up to a winter wonderland, first time sledding, first snow angels, and first snowman built. For Alan and I, we got to remember what it was like for us growing up in Michigan Winters. As much as I love Sunny Southern California, it was really a treat to have a change in weather...just two hours away and we were in the mountains with snow.

This is what it looked like as we woke up on Sunday Morning..
