A Weekend in Lake Arrowhead! #WordyWednesday

First off, I just want to say a big THANK YOU to my readers these past few weeks. My visitor stats/traffic has been extremely high & I love seeing a comment or notification that you retweeted a post for me. THANKS! Its great to be reminded I am not just writing to no one & its because of my readership that I have been getting such amazing opportunities to go to new places 🙂

Today, I am excited to share with you a bit about our past weekend; Mike & I had the opportunity to take the trek up the 210 highway to Lake Arrowhead for our friend’s 30th birthday bash! I had never been to that area & it was gorgeous; it reminded me so much of other California destinations I love like Solvang & Chico.

LakeThe drive up from SoCal begins like any other; lots of freeway. Then, once you begin to get out of the LA traffic, you’re routed for about 20 miles through surface streets that take you higher…& higher! up into the mountains on a curvy, narrow, windy road (& up to about 5,000 feet elevation!) into The San Bernardino National Forest. Feeling the air get crisper, clearer, as well as the sky becoming a sharp blue, is such a refreshing feeling & perfect for the weekend.

I had never thought of a cabin as a birthday getaway, but it couldn’t be more PERFECT & its something I would totally recommend for anyone wanting to not only get away, but have fun & be louder than usual as you’re away from it all….& your neighbors. We were treated to friends on guitars playing Metallica & other metal faves…oh, yeah!

Mikes friends couldn’t have been more fun & our Birthday girl Amanda dressed up as a Flapper to say goodbye to her “Roaring 20’s”! 😉 We had loads of fun while we literally just did…not much. Mike & I crammed in some serious fuse ball practice, drank a bit too much & ate a bit more than usual…then slept well in the quiet noise of the mountains!

There were about 12 of us & at just $40 a person, we got to stay over in a cute cabin home with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a wet bar, a kitchen & my favorite feature….a GAME ROOM! boasting a fuse ball table, ping pong & a pool table.

Have you ever been to Lake Arrowhead, or thought of going up there? Definitely keep it in mind for any kind of celebration…I already wanna go back! xo
