just a few photos from our trip last weekend up to big bear…

our family cabin up there is the best – let me tell you – and holds a lot of memories for my family. we’ve had the place since ’95, and you could say I was practically half raised up there- spending entire summers, and long holidays in the mountains growing up. let us also not forget all of the new memories being made as we’ve made our separate trips up over the recent years. only a few hours from LA, it’s wonderful feel like you’re getting away for a few days.

this trip was particularly special being that it was a family trip (the first in several years)- my folks, my brother, puff…and even the dogs. one highlight: getting to have a beer with my dad, for the first time ever, at the local (and only) big bear bar: chad’s place.

…and yes, I’m already missing that mountain air.

can I just go back to this moment on the cabin deck in big bear…eating puff’s blueberry pancakes that I coaxed him into making with adorable little mountain mugs of coffee?


it’s the little things in life.

we love going to big bear any chance we can get (and puff’s birthday was the perfect reason to go…). this marks the second year in a row we’ve gone up for his birthday- might just be a tradition at this point.


while we managed to do our usual favorites- walk around the village, drink at Chad’s and pick up the best sandwiches (ever of all time) from ‘Mountain Munchies’- I unfortunately had to spend the majority of Saturday doing school work (not to mention, we didn’t leave LA till about 10:30pm on Friday for the same reason). I’m incredibly grateful of how patient James is regarding my grad school efforts (like I have said before- I swear he’s getting his MFA too).


thankfully- I managed to get a little bit ahead to have Sunday free from school to enjoy his birthday (not an easy task, but of course well worth it!). we spent the entire day laying lakeside in the sun at the Big Bear Jazzfest. you can bet we’re already counting down the days until our next trip up…


xoxo bun.
