We were going to go to the Yosemite and the Redwoods, Monterey, The Grand Canyon, Solvang, and some nifty other places too! WE WERE TOTALLY going to do it because who knows when we will get another chance.
Well.......... then life happened as it usually does and D decided to take a summer class to make sure he's on track as well as extern this summer (interning for school credits). So by the time all that was done, it left us with 2 weeks of summer vacation bliss.
So here's what we did instead:
We spent to days in the tiny historic mining town of Julian in San Diego.
To save money, we drove the 2 hours there and back each day and then spent our money on the fun stuff!
We went on a mini hike at Cuyamaca Lake
"Mined for Gems" at a Gem Sluice
Panned for "Gold"
AND MORE....
(look out for PART 2...as soon as I find my camera!)
You can bet that I have some CRAFTivities to follow this!
Stay tuned!
9 JUICY LOVE NOTES:
I like the photo by the water.
My kids would LOVE to mine for gems. I am so paranoid about my camera that it would never have the opportunity to get lost....my cell phone on the other hand...
I love it! Looks super duper fun!
This looks similar to a place we went to this summer. Barkerville BC. Gold panning and hiking trails. Glad you had a great time!
i would love to go to san diego, i hear their weather is mild and awesome!!
hope you have fun on your staycation.
That looks like fun! We wanted to go gem minin before when we were in Louisianna. They have a place in Arkansas. Glad you made the best out of what summer is left! =)
Ugh, can he get any cuter! I love the mining picture, that is PRECIOUS! Glad you got some time away and got a break from your routine!
I would love to have s staycation, but our families think otherwise. There is so much to see and do in California, we are both pretty lucky in this regard. It looks like you made the right choice and had a lot of fun in the meantime.
Looks like you all had a great time .... a little creativity can go along way

Oooh, I love Julian and their yummy apple pie!!! Sometimes when we feel like we just want to get away, but not go far, Julian it is!
