Julian, CA

I wanted to take a lil overnight trip before my next chemo and while I was still feeling somewhat okay. I suggested my favorite go-to destination, Solvang. I can't drink so it probably wouldn't be as much fun. John suggested Julian, CA. He's suggested it before. It's in the mountains above San Diego. About an hour from Temecula. A tiny little gold-mining town known for their apple crop. We stayed at a quaint hotel that allowed dogs, so we were able to bring Bert. It was super mellow and just what I needed. It took us about 2 hours and 45 minutes to get there. We checked in and then walked around the town and got some lunch. Then we came back to the hotel and napped and then went for a really good dinner at this organic restaurant that had a lady singing songs and playing guitar. The next day we got a tasty breakfast and I grabbed an apple dumpling to go. They are known for their apples so I couldn't not get one. It was the perfect get-away!
