I had a few unexpected hours to myself, so I headed to Julian, California for a spontaneous solo day trip! Come along as I grab breakfast, explore downtown Julian, learn a little local history, browse some very interesting shops, and finish the afternoon with a local b**r.
Julian is a historic mountain town in San Diego County known for its Gold Rush history, apple pie, hiking, shops, breweries, wineries, and plenty more than I could possibly fit into one short visit.

👀 And a few things I definitely wasn't expecting to find along the way...
This wasn't meant to be an everything-you-can-do-in-Julian guide. I only had a few hours to explore, making this more of a first look at what you can do during a quick visit — and by the end of the day, I'd already started a list for next time.
