JULIAN, CALIFORNIA

We went for a drive yesterday out to Julian, California.......

It is an "historic gold mining town located approximately an hour east of San Diego. It is the premier mountain retreat in the county and is unique in that it has four seasons." It is in the beautiful Cuyamaca mountains and "at 4,235 feet, Julian’s high elevation provides clean air, blue skies and four distinct seasons." (Didn't they already mention that???)

Also, it's "famous for apples and superb apple pie".

SO, we decided to go get some of those famous apples for ourselves.....

How's it taste, Maleah?

Must be good - Maleah wants more!!!

Cameron is in charge of the bag.........while he does some taste-testing!

And, of course, Rena had a bag and did A LOT of her own taste-testing also!

Good pickin' - time for a rest in some shade!

We were at the "Raven Hill Orchard" so everyone wanted their picture taken with the Raven.....

First, Jeff and Maleah

Then, Jeff & Rena

Finally, Jeff and Cameron

This Orchard had some "interesting" art - Jeff decided to take a rest on some of it!

After picking some apples we headed in to town to walk around and see the sites.....


It was a fun place to visit and I'm sure we'll be going back this fall for more apples..........and for another one of their "superb" apple pies!! It was yummy!! :)
