Here's a reason to drive 300 miles from The Valley of the Sun: I'm sitting in a cabin at Sleepy Forrest Cottages wearing a hoodie SWEATSHIRT! Because it's chilly in the pines. Her's our cabin.

Got up to a nice chill, put on the hoodie and walked down Big Bear Lake Blvd. to the Grizzly Manor Cafe:

Had a great cup of coffee in a giant mug and then had the Huggy Scrambled Eggs platter while Kathy had the oatmeal. Place slammed with locals:

Love this part of road trips. We're leaving this morning for Pasadena and the hospital where a certain Bell girl is having a baby boy.
