We were headed to the beach one Saturday and as we were driving the 30 or 40 minute stretch of I-14 to get to I-5, we saw the smoke and flames of a huge blaze. It turned out to be the Sylmar fire which was so out of control it jumped the interstate, closing the I-14/ I-5 interchange. We were sad we couldn't play at the beach but enjoyed a yummy brunch at Mimi's Cafe in Valencia instead.
