Driving Through Julian

IMG_8223I was in San Diego the other weekend again and decided to go for a drive with a friend to get some pie. It was a strange day as the clouds made us think it would rain, but never quite produced any precipitation. We drove out to Julian, CA us in her new car with the top down, her roommate on his bike. What a fun ride! We sped down the twisty roads and occasionally got slowed by the Sunday morning driver. We eventually stopped at the little pie shop, Mom’s Pies, which is only about an hour outside San Diego.

You’ll have to excuse the lack of pie pictures, as this post was an after thought. Also, the pies were so good I didn’t want to stop eating to take a picture. I promise to get some if I ever go again. And I’ll be sure to take the picture before I take a bite!

There are actually two Mom’s Pies in the area. We stopped at the one just before you reach Julian. It was a good choice as there weren’t many customers which was meant no wait for us. Also, as we drove through the center of Julian and past the official Mom’s Pies we took note of the line that was out the front door.

IMG_8227We stopped to take some pictures just past Julian at an overlook of my friend’s car and her roommate’s bike. We turned them one way, then the other way and then got some pictures of the view without them. The sun started to set so we decided to head back, hoping there would be a few opportunities to stop along the way to take pictures of the sunset. As we came over the last mountain we drove into a exquisite sunset that you can only see to believe. All in all a fun time!
