When most people think of Southern California, they think beaches and sunshine and probably movie stars. Well, we do have all that, but we have much more. Since I was raised on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, I am more used to seasonal changes and some occasional weather issues like cold temperatures and snow. That is something I kind of miss...maybe just a little. The rest of my family, except for maybe my son, thinks I am a bit mental.
The other day we took a day trip to Julian, CA. to share with my Aunt who was visiting from West Virginia. I like to visit Julian occasionally because there I can experience all four seasons. At just over 4,000 feet elevation, Julian provides a mild Summer for hiking, camping, and fishing, and a colorful backdrop for fun Fall activities.
The Winter brings the perfect wonderland for the holiday season and then Spring produces all the flowers and new nature that warms our hearts after a cold Winter.
Julian, CA. is an historic gold mining town that was founded after the Civil War. Although it is quite popular with tourists, it has
remained small in general population and retains it's old world charm. The tiny town has since taken on
new found fame as "Pie Town" because of The Julian Pie Company, who ships pies out by the hundreds to all over the country.
There is plenty to do in Julian for the whole family. They have shopping (my favorite), Art Galleries, historic sites, dining, wine tasting, and of course, many types of lodging. A trip to Julian makes a great day trip if you live in the area, but I think I will stay for the weekend next time I go so that I can experience all the dining options. That is very hard to do in just one day, especially when there is pie involved!!
This is one of very few blogs that was worth the read, a great insight. My friend will be so exciting to check out that. I’m really grateful for this great read,I also enjoyed several days in California few years ago.

Ah Julian. Nothing better than pie and some Apple Cider. I'm very glad the town was spared by the Cedar Fire. How is the surrounding landscape recovering?

That's the kind of image that i really thing is super image like. If more images very real like this were out there we'd be super full of graet images in the world.

Woah! I'm really enjoying the template/theme of this blog. It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's very hard to get that "perfect balance" between user friendliness and visual appearance. I must say you've done a excellent job with this. Also, the blog loads very fast for me on Opera. Outstanding Blog!
