Rather last minute, our little family decided to pack up and head to the mountains for the weekend. We left early on Friday and enjoyed three glorious days in Big Bear. The weather was crisp and cold and the kids couldn’t get enough of being outside and seeing the snow. While it didn’t actually snow while we were there, there were patches on the ground and we still managed to fit in some tubing. So much fun. It was a nice respite from the hustle and bustle of life. Both my hubby and I were “unplugged” the entire weekend. No laptops, iPads, phones or any other type of technology. Thought I would recap a little for you with some photos and show you the AWESOME house we rented. We didn’t want to leave! 
The great room opens to the kitchen which makes it so nice for spending quality time together. We had some mean games of UNO with the kids at the dining room table! 
Here is my son visiting his sister in her “pink” room. You can see he made himself right at home with Mickey on his bed! 
How fabulous is the master bath and the claw foot tub! Told you we didn’t want to leave. 
And no mountain vacation would be complete with s’mores! And yes, my son is still sporting his Christmas pajamas in February. Don’t judge! If you sent me an email or question over the past few days, I promise to plug back in and get caught up. Hope you all had a great weekend as well. Happy Monday.
Nothing like a quite weekend away to get you going again! Looked like too much fun.
That house is seriously awesome. I love weekend trips like that–especially the "unplugged" part. I love my technology, but something is so freeing about not having it for a weekend. 🙂
what a lovely home! not your typical mountain cabin, i'd say! so glad you got some great family time!
WOW! Looks so nice! Your kids are precious too! Hope you had a great weekend!
It looks fabulous! and you are so adorable!!
Good for you unplugging! I think my hub and I need to do more of that on the weekends! Oh – and Christmas pj's are fine 'til spring in my book. You gotta get your wear out of them – right?! That house is amazing. I can see why you didn't want to leave.
Looks like an amazing getaway!! Agreed, s'mores are a must! That picture of the kids making s'mores is priceless.
How fun! That house IS amazing! Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun!
Aw, C! What a fun weekend. I love weekends like that- just the fam and some great ole games of UNO 🙂 That tub is amazing. I hope you at least got to take one bath in it!!

That looks like such a nice vacation! I love going to the mountains and unplugging for awhile.
Looks like an amazing weekend!!! Love the family pics…you guys are so cute!
It all looks so perfect. I am glad you had a good time.
What a wonderful weekend! The picture of your husband with the kiddos roasting marshmallows is priceless!!! I've had a sick kiddo here for a month now…if it's not one thing it's another. I am ready to take all of us to the mountains!

That place looks beautiful! Where was this?
How fun! I love that last fireplace picture. (And I would NEVER judge about the PJ's! Lol.)
That's so great to get away for a few days. Looks beautiful. I'd love to escape to the mountains, too….but they're not anywhere close to me! 🙁
Wow! What a nice family retreat! And no way will I judge your son- my son wore those pajamas last night. I consider them "winter' pajamas. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Long time reader, first time commenter – we love Big Bear! We went up there a few summers ago to go mountain biking and camp! So fun! You might be a little closer though since we are in San Diego 🙂
