Summer Family Road Trip - Day 6


Woke up this morning to a beautiful sunrise over the eastern slopes of the Sierra Madre Mountains. I took advantage of the peace and quite to make a pot of coffee and enjoy the view from the balcony. Once Chris and the kids woke up, we got our swim suits on and took a dip in our own private hot tub. Ahhh, life is good! Breakfast was at a local place called the Breakfast Club. We had a huge meal to last us all the way to dinner. Then, we where off to explore the lakes area. We rented a pontoon boat in the morning and a canoe and Kayak in the afternoon. At one of the lakes we even saw a Mother Black Bear and her three little cubs. They were less than 150 feet away so it was quite exciting! Late in the evening, Catie and I made the drive to Devil's Postpile Nat'l Mon. which is about 30 minutes from Mammoth. It's a cool Geologic formation of Rock that looks like logs. We had a nice little hike there before it got dark. Overall the Mammoth Lakes area was awesome, and we are definitely planning on coming back in the winter to play in the snow.
