Romantic Getaway!

Ken and I snuck away to Julian, CA sans children for some much needed adult time. Ken had been to Julian before & had talked about it quite a bit. I couldn't wait to get away and wander around looking at history and some beauty, but most of all, I just needed the quiet and alone time with Ken!

I did some research and decided on the Julian Hotel Bed and Breakfast.  I am so glad that I made that choice!!! This was the perfect hotel for us - quiet, quaint, and the Patio Cottage was set in the back away from the others affording us the solitude that I totally needed.  The patio in front made sitting outside and enjoying our conversation or just reading quietly together completely perfect!!

We walked around town checking out the shops and trying to decide where we wanted to start tomorrow for our one full day of fun, and then after perusing Main Street for a while, we settled in to eat a late lunch at The Julian Cafe. I quickly learned that Ken was NOT kidding about the famous Julian Apples and Apple Pie was a constant dessert that we had to have.

We settled in for what was to a quick nap, but we didn't wake until after Tea Time in the parlor, and then everything was closed.  


No, seriously, I do mean that everything was closed. The entire Main Street and Julian, CA itself closes by 8 pm.  Ken and I weren't really hungry, but we wanted a snack and a drink, so we headed back down the 78 and ended up at the San Ysabel Casino - the only place anywhere nearby where you could get food and a drink after 8 pm unless it was your own home.

I thought it was completely perfect! I needed the quiet and the rest, and this was definitely the place to get it. We went back to our cottage and enjoyed the quiet, non-girls fighting evening and got some sound sleep.
