Making the best of a rainy weekend

We woke up Saturday to a sunny beautiful day. We were so excited to have a rain-free day that we decided to take a drive to the snow. We left a little late because Tamara had gymnastics at 10am so we didn't get on the road until about 12:00pm. We got off the freeway and started our way to the base of the mountain, when boom, the sig-alert started. We drove about 40 minutes in hopes that a miracle of some kind would happen and the traffic would subside but it never did. We decided to just turn back. Oh well, we can see the snow another day. We substituted our snow day with a beach day at the Santa Fe Dam recreation park in Irwingdale. Wow, who would have thought that such a nice outdoorsy place was located so close (about 10 min) to our house. We had a great time.
