Samuel had a short, two-day fall break which we wrongly thought was a full week...Hence the spontaneous road trip to find fall! We've always wanted to go up to Julian, CA to pick apples/get their famous apple pie. The orchards closed a couple weeks ago but we decided to venture up there anyway because fall break was rapidly coming to end and because you only live once. And it was perfect!
We stopped at Lake Cuyamaca, a little lake town we stumbled upon with the coolest temperatures we've felt since Christmas 2014 in Utah. The brisk air was heaven after countless weeks of high 80's and 90's. But I guess we're not quite used to 50 degree weather anymore because we froze our little bums off as we ventured around the lake.
At Julian we started with dessert first- some yummy homemade apple pie at Julian Pie Company. We each got different flavors and toppings but devoured each piece without a picture. We walked across the street to a little bookstore and then wandered around the rest of Main Street which wasn't hard to accomplish because it's the tiniest Main Street I've ever seen! Then we finished with an early dinner at one of the tiny restaurants.
The drive up to Julian was well worth it! We loved the scenery and were so happy to find a town that experienced fall. We got to wear jackets!! Seriously that was the best part about the whole trip! It was cold enough for cozy clothes and for turning on the car heater. Thank you Julian for the best hour road trip we could ask for! We'll be back next fall for some apple picking!!
