Julian Snow

We celebrated the arrival of winter (and inexpensive gas prices) today by driving up to find some snow.  Our last time in the snow was in Colorado, so it was fun for the kids to experience California snow for the first time.  We had a lot of rain this week, so the higher elevations got quite a bit of snow.  We were going to visit Palomar Mountain, but we learned that the roads were closed.  So we headed up to Julian, CA, about an hour drive from our home.  Our friends recently introduced us to Julian Pies, so it was fun to visit the town for the first time.  Such a quaint place.  We'll definitely be back.  

The snow was awesome.  We built 3 snowmen, and the third one was definitely an art piece created only by Jeff.  

Hope we'll be warm enough.

Z's first time in the snow.

Picnic in the snow.  Hot chocolate and PBJs never tasted so good.

Can you say "troublemaker?"
