A Relaxing Weekend Getaway to Arrowbear Lake

This past weekend, my husband, our 11-month-old daughter, and I took a short trip to Arrowbear Lake. It’s a small mountain community not too far from Big Bear. A much closer and more peaceful drive compared to our usual trips to Palm Springs. The scenic mountain route took us about an hour to reach, followed by a 30-minute drive up into the mountains.

We topped the pancakes with fresh-cut strawberries, whipped cream, and a light…
