Farewell Mammoth Trip

Posted on February 13, 2024 by Carrie

Last weekend, we drove up to Mammoth Lakes to go on our last vacation in the area – at least, our last vacation there for a long time. After we move to Colorado, we’ll be exploring Colorado resort towns and we likely won’t fly back to Mammoth for awhile. We all love Mammoth so, so much; therefore, this trip was bittersweet. We did all of our favorite things while we were there and even squeezed in a new activity or two. Continue reading →

Posted on February 18, 2023 by Carrie

We recently returned from a snowy 5-day/4-night road trip to Mammoth Lakes, CA. We love Mammoth sooooo much and everyone in our family had a great time on our trip. The area had their second snowiest January on record (2017 was the snowiest) and our early February trip allowed us to take full advantage of all that snow for skiing, snowboarding, sledding, tubing, and playing. Plus, it was absolutely beautiful there – the mountains were covered in deep snow and the views in all directions were spectacular. Continue reading →

Big Bear Snow Trip

Posted on January 28, 2023 by Carrie

During the last week of 2022, when things slowed down and work and school halted, we escaped to the local mountains for some snow fun and a little relaxation. We hiked, skied, and went sledding, and when we weren’t active in these pursuits, we were reading by the wood fire in our cabin and drinking mugfuls of hot cocoa. Continue reading →
