TRAVEL BY NIC…….The
Perpetual Tourist!
Julian, CA
Nothing like visiting a picturesque little town
nestled in the mountains near San Diego…..right?! If that sounds good to
you then you’ve got to visit Julian, CA! It’s about 1 ½ hours from Orange
County, and well work the drive. Once you get off the freeways, the back
roads are charming! It is known for its apple orchards. There are
plenty of fields that you can stop at along the way to do some apple picking,
but we head straight for the quaint town for the apple pie, apple cobbler,
apple cider, the list goes on & on!
Julian is about 3 blocks long with charming
stores and plenty of pie shops. Parking is free. For a few bucks
you can ride a horse drawn carriage through town and wave at all the
tourist! (No I didn’t do that!! I just waved at those passing by
me!)
I enjoy visiting Julian in the Fall, but I’ve
got to give you a “heads up” because I think everyone else loves the Fall
too! The line for the pie shops were down the block! Something
about being up in the mountains for Autumn helps to put me in the mood for the
season.
All &
all this is a sweet get away that really only costs you the gas to get there
BUT……I’m sure you’ll want to spend some money on some apple treats!
Enjoy!

Romano’s was great! It’s located in a
small cottage type house and is very cozy on the inside. The food was
very tasty!
