This past weekend was dedicated to celebrating fall!
We started our fall celebration Saturday morning by driving about an hour away to Julian. Julian is this little old fashioned town that specialized in everything apple. Up there, it's as close to fall as you can get (they actually have trees that aren't palm trees). The drive was really pretty and we admired the "fall foilage." In Julian, Apple Days are going on, but really, it was just like walking around the tiny downtown area on any given day. We shopped around and drank some cider, but unlike the cool fall weather in the midwest, after about an hour I was so hot from the 85 degree temperature that we had to find a place to go inside and get some A/C and food.

Sunday, we had our usual morning (walk with Diggy, breakfast at Brickyard, work out) then we went to get a little sun at the pool. Afterwards, we went to a pumpkin patch in Pacific Beach and picked out some cute little pumpkins.

Sunday night I finished off my fall celebrations by baking pumpkin cupcakes. I decorated them as Jack-O-Lanterns using little chocolate chips. Adam even helped me decorate a few, which he is very embarressed about :) He took them to work yesterday and said all of them were eaten up very quickly besides two that he decorated that turned out pretty shabby :)

I love fall and am excited for more fall activities to come!
