My mom (this is Noel writing) came to visit for a week recently. She needed a break from work and from the snow, and boy did she ever time it right! The week she came, the weather out here turned from 50's and rainy to 70's and sunny. It even reached 80 one day! Meanwhile, back in Michigan, Dad had two snow days! I think it was a blizzard there every day while she was here. During the week, Heidi and I were busy with work and school, so we all spent time together in the evenings and on the weekend. We took her to a few of our favorite local spots like 21 Choices and Father Nature's Lavash Wraps. On Saturday, we took her to a new hike that we found, just about a 15-minute drive away into the San Gabriel foothills. 
The path was a bit treacherous at some points where we had to cross over the stream, since the water was so high from all the recent rains. But we made it to the end, where there is a beautiful waterfall.

Makes for a great little weekend excursion. I'm sure we'll be back.
Now Mom is back in the snow. Oh well, it got colder out here as soon as she left!
