A day in Julian

Well, summer is almost over. What better way to use up a full day than to drive to the mountains then return through the desert? So we invited our sweet friend Kathleen and hit the road.
In Mt. Laguna there are overlooks of the desert below. This is the first one.
"I'm too cool for school"!
Lunch in Julian. The place was packed. We actually had to wait for a table. Kinda weird considering it was mid-week in their off season.
What a ham!Then we went shopping. First stop...the candy store.
Later, after my feet almost fell off from all the walking, we stopped for some famous Julian apple pie. It was delish even if the apples were store bought(not apple season here yet). On our way out of town we stopped at the turn of the century jail house. The girls actually thought it was still being used today...Ha!
Buds!

I was wishing I could put them on the other side of the bars. No such luck...they were locked!
We left Julian via the desert. It definitely took a lot longer to get home but at least we were not sitting home bored.
Apparently, the new cool thing is to collect granite rocks.
Bestest buds! (they looked all over Julian trying to find something they could both afford that matched. Finally, at the last store they found these bracelets for $1.00)**my eyes are rolling still**
2friends + 2gether = 4ever!

How cute. So nice she has made a BFF already. Now you made me want to go to Julian, although maybe I will wait and go apple picking when its time.
