East to Weston (the Original): a day in julian, california

This last weekend Caleb and I went down to San Diego for a mini-vacation. We left after work on Friday and arrived at my Uncle Dave and Aunt Jean's house around 10. Their home would serve as our Bed & Breakfast for the weekend. And it actually kind of was! We slept in on Saturday morning and then just sat around and chatted with Jean and Dave. After we got ourselves showered and ready we spent the rest of the afternoon driving up to Julian and wandering its quaint Main Street. We ate at a soda fountain restaurant (see first picture below), where we were served GIANT meals. So we walked around town for a bit to work some of that off before we tried some world famous pie from the Julian Pie Company. It was definitely some of the best pie I'd ever eaten.

That night Jon and Julie came up to Jean and Dave's and we watched the USC game, during which we ate a fabulous dinner made by Jean (the boys were forced to leave the TV for the meal). Then it was back to the TV where we caught several other games, both football and baseball. It was quite the "game night."

On Sunday we spent time at Jon and Julie's hanging out, eating another huge meal (this time from a local BBQ place they love, and for good reason), and we saw the house remodel Jon's been working on for the past six months. It was really good to get some time with them. Then on our way back up home we stopped by Bob and Beth's in San Clemente for a couple hours (Caleb's aunt and uncle).

We didn't make it home until after 9:30 Sunday night, but the weekend was a good one. We got to see a host of people we've been meaning to see for a while, and had some good mini-vacation time of our own.

Enjoy the pictures below!

Ah ... the famous Julian Pie Company.
