Apple Pie in the sky








Yesterday Vinny and i went to Julian with my mom and dad. we all piled into the mighty avalon, where dad tried to kill us a number of times on the winding roads.




(The avalon is the middle car - dad did an awesome job of parrallel parking!)

The weather was cool and fresh. and so were the apples! for those of you who don't know, julian is a sleepy little mountain town where we go in the fall to pick apples and eat and eat and eat apple pie. preferably with cheese on top. want a taste?

sorry, we ate it all! there is also a shop with tons of kinds of yummy stuff: from candy to nuts to chocolate to apple cider to candy apples.







these are vinny's favorite apples - covered in sugar!




vinny kept looking for the tree that grew these apples... but couldn't find it.



we also saw a sad homeless man. do you recognize him?



Wait, isn't that dad?



come to think of it, where's mom?



oh, there she is!



peekaboo, mom!

we had a super fun time in julian!

the monty python sketch is one of Vinny's favorites. enjoy!

That homeless guy looks like he has been standing behind the local bakery for his nightly snack.

The homeless lady, that is way more believable.

I am glad that you guys had fun. You do have a phone don't you? Next time, why don't you try giving someone a call to join you? I am starting to get my feelings hurt with all of the avoiding.

Megan, well we all knew that once you started blogging, it would beat all of ours. That is a really great post.

I could see the homeless guy's booze hidden in his bags. No wonder you didn't pick him up. The lady - she looked like she had been taking swigs off the same bottle.

I've heard your Dad's had a spot of bother or two when he gets behind the wheel - safer on foot for all of you. Less damage when you're seated safely on a bench. However, upon closer examination, it appears that the only reason he's sitting safely on that bench is that he's been nailed there...

And now for something completely different.
