Excursion to Julian

During a portion of our camping trip we decided to head into Julian to explore the town a bit since it's such a cute little place. Here are a few pictures of the town:


Julian is famous for its pies so Mr X and I decided to stop in and have a slice. There are several places one can get pie in this town so we just randomly picked one.

We chose "Mom's." Mr X gave the place a 9 (out of 10) on presentation and a 3 on taste. He claimed the filling of his pie was too mushy and it lacked flavor. His pie was apple-cherry. Mine was a sugar-free apple with sugar-free ice cream. I thought it was decent.

Here I am about to dig in:

Here are a few lemon meringue pies they had in the window. I was loving the meringue topping on them:

So -- I was looking at this post with Sam and when he saw that picture where you are about to eat your apple pie, he said:
"That looks like Charlotte, but why does she have that face?!?"

Hee, hee. I had to share.

Holy crap, what's wrong with my face and what on earth did it used to look like?

Wow! Those pies look amazing! I love that 'Apple Pies Sold Here' sign. . . it would have had me entering on the double for sure!

Sam's explanation:
"Well, she's trying to smile -- but she's not showing her teeth."

My SD roommates took me to Julian so I could get the feeling of fall and take my mind off my grandfather having passed away the day before. We ate at the same place!
