The day after

The day after Thanksgiving we decided to go to Julian. It was a very nice drive and lovely weather, when we got there the town was packed, no place to park, so we drove on to have a nice lunch at Jeremy's at the Hill on Wynola. For dessert we went to Mom's Pie house for the typical slice of apple pie, the Julian area is well know for its apples.

From there we drove to go visit a friend of L from High School, she lives in the Poway area in a very nice house .  In the way we stopped to see the Santa Ysabel Indian Mission.

It was nice to see Michelle again, I had not seen her for a long time and it was good to catch up with her.  When we got to her house, Lulu made herself at home, she ran around checking everything, even climbing on the couch. They have two big dogs and they were outside but wanting to come inside, it was funny to see them trying to be friendly with Lulu, but she wanted nothing to do with them, she even growled and barked at them if they came to close.

We got back to San Diego and walked around a bit and then had dinner at Lolita's. Another fun day.

Saturday morning we walked to the Opera bakery to have a delicious croissant and hot chocolate and then we walked for a while. We saw that 5th Avenue was closed for 2 blocks because they were going to have vendors and other Christmas events starting at 2PM  We were going to leave early but decided to hang around for a while. We went back home to pack and rest for a while and then we went walking around. We bought some yummy candied bourbon pecans, and I found some soap and lotion that I could actually smell! it was mango &  coconut :)

Just before leaving I took a picture of the pretty Christmas tree in the lobby of L's apartment building

On the way home, we stopped to visit Heather another friend oh L in San Marcos. Her sister and husband were there too, and a little later her other sister and mother came along with some of her grand kids.  Heather has a barking dog that is cute but loud, her oldest son took him for a walk and once again Lulu was queen on the house. She went around exploring, and ate all the dog food (not hers) she also  played with everybody and got enough loving to last her for a while. It was very nice to see all of them.

We had a very nice drive back home, Lulu was excited! It was a very fun long Thanksgiving weekend.

I forgot a little anecdote. After our Thanksgiving dinner, we took a Lyft home. The driver was very nice and friendly. He said I had a sweet voice. People have said I have an accent, but nobody ever said my voice was sweet. I loved it!
