Julian is amazing! Julian Pie and Mom's Pie are delicious! Dudley's bread is life! Thank you Jaycation for another outstanding video! Loved it!

[@Jaycation]

Salamat Mi Mama!

[@MTravelVlog]

I really enjoyed your video. Great channel. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Greetings from Albania. 👋🏼 🇦🇱

[@Jaycation]

Thanks for the support! I hope to visit Albania some day.

[@FOE_RUNNER]

Love Julian! Keep em coming!

[@Jaycation]

Love Julian! Apple pie is AMAZING!

[@Enjoythevue]

My hubby loves apple pie! We’ve been planning to visit but not yet gone!

[@Jaycation]

Make it happen! haha still have alot of pie in the fridge im about to get some.

[@barbarastaff2338]

Omgosh. I used to go to Dudleys when it was so tiny!

[@Jaycation]

Its HUGE now!

[@barbarastaff2338]

Hi! So great to see you in Julian. If they still have October Fest go it's fun. You're so fortunate to have seen and traveled so much.

[@Jaycation]

Ooooh hopefully in 2021 there will be an Oktoberfest! Thanks!

[@ThePipeiper]

Also, Seaport Village each beach individually. Ocean beach, PB, Mission, La Jolla, DelMar, Solana/Encinitas, Carlsbad, Oceanside. With the beach itself and the shops and restaurants near them.

[@Jaycation]

nice! I did each beachtown individual last summer. Seaport will be included in my next video but i have a couple that i filmed a few years back.

[@BelleStreetBoyz]

What a great tip about Dudley's Bread! I've never heard of that place. I would definitely love to check it out next time I'm heading up to Julian. Thank you for sharing! 👍🏻

[@meleenabradley3017]

They also have delicious sandwiches 🥪

[@rickkaylor8554]

Nice video. You should have gone to Julian Station and Wynola Pizza (Red Barn). They have live music normally and should again when the pandemic slows down.

[@joshuanewburger]

JAY..there's aLOT of🥧s here,huh?? GUY..4:58😆🤣 5:08 TRUEfan for sure

[@eddief1111]

Taking a picture next to that snow like that was the most California thing I've seen today. 😆

[@Jaycation]

haha! just had to

[@XLTBlarg]

Moved to San Diego September of 2019 and havent really had a chance to explore San Diego because of work and Covid. Cant wait to visit all these places with friends after pandemic.

[@Jaycation]

awesome! Hope u get to explore more of SD real soon!

[@ThePipeiper]

Temecula wineries, old town Temecula and San Diego farmers markets from south country and north country. Temecula has a great one!

[@Jaycation]

ALL GREAT IDEAS! Hoping to do Temecula soon.

[@star_platinum2821]

you know that glass statue that was in the wall was Lucile Ball from I love Lucy and that was from one of the classic episodes when she got a job making candy, you should google it it's pretty funny

[@Jaycation]

haha i used to watch I Love Lucy on nick at nite!

[@johnpurdum8126]

Ah, Julian! Used camp at nearby William Heise County Park when it was just the small caravan area, before it was expanded into what it is today. The Julian Cafe was the place to get pies back in those days. Making me homesick for the childhood days!

[@L.Spencer]

The chicken pot pie at the Julian Cafe is so good! My husband and I share the order, too.

[@johnpurdum8126]

@@L.Spencer San Diego is a long drive away for me. I would want to tow my trailer and camp. That's how I like to go. The cost of fuel is about the same as getting a motel room, plus I think i can stay closer to Julian when camping. Haven't been down there in many years.

[@Jaycation]

I saw quite a few camp sites on the way to Julian. Nice!

[@Jaycation]

I need to try that next time! I love chicken pot pie!

[@Jaycation]

I hope to explore further on the next trip! Also hope to see the Gold Mine!

[@fitpit4242]

Great content bro!

[@Jaycation]

Thanks FitPut!

[@itsewelina]

I love your videos and your editing as well . You are making me go to Julian again ! I haven’t been in about 10 years . I forgot how cool that little town is

[@Jaycation]

Thanks ItsEwelina! I appreciate that you like the editing! I try my best to get better and provide great info! This was my first time in Julian since i was 9 years old~!

[@itsewelina]

@@Jaycation oh wow ! I’m going this Friday or Saturday :-)) you made me do it ! Such a cool little place :-)

[@afligoogigoo]

I grew up for most of my early childhood in this wonderful small town, and only moved last year. But I still yearn almost every day to go back to Julian soon! Edit: If anyone is ever in town, go to Julian Beer Company. They have some of the best pizza I've ever had!

[@barbarastaff2338]

Binging on peanut butter cookies! My kid would prob agree with the stork!

[@Jaycation]

Love that stork!

[@larrybridgeforth]

Just went to Julian yesterday for my 38th anniversary. The wife and I had a great time.

[@ThePipeiper]

And do the piers.

[@tregsjl]

Thanks for the great content as always Jay!

[@Grace-jf9tp]

By the way the Wolf Center used to be the bird watcher

[@Jaycation]

nice! never knew... only been there twice ever. thanks!

[@Grace-jf9tp]

Honestly seeing your reply made my day and I’m glad I could help

[@MsVixen413]

One of my favorite places in Julian is right off of Main Street...Blue Door Winery...great Sangria. Always my first stop when in Julian 🍷

[@Jaycation]

Ahhh Sangria! Love the suggestion!

[@barbarastaff2338]

Hi! Still with your videos but moving to Temecula area. Follow your passion kiddo!

[@mikefreeman9251]

My family would always go up there on Christmas eve for the cider and for the mountainey Christmas vibes

[@Jaycation]

Wow i bet u get into the Christmas spirit being there as a tradition. Great family tradition Mike! Thanks for sharing

[@itr0863]

thanks for the video jay! i'll be traveling from florida to sd for a wedding in a few weeks but only for 5 days, short trip. day after the wedding my tita is having family party in temecula(my hotel is in scripps/poway). i was looking for a quick side quest on the way to temecula and maybe julian can be it, i know its technically not "on the way" to temecula, but its something different considering i'll be hitting up the big stuff earlier on in the trip (sd zoo/la jolla etc)

[@barbarastaff2338]

My son was also born at Sharps.

[@Jaycation]

haha i swear the stork on the parking garage is who delivered me lol

[@goodcalivibes5972]

At some point you should check out borrego springs

[@L.Spencer]

If you go to Julian during the week, you'll notice more the people hiking the Pacific Crest Trail who stop in the city for supplies or just to stay at the hotel. My friends were staying at the Julian Gold Rush Hotel and we got to talk to a few of them.

[@Jaycation]

Wow that is a great tidbit i never knew! That's really unique to know. Thanks for sharing Loraine!

[@mindfulsara397]

Mmmmmm......apple pie!🥧

[@Jaycation]

So good! I think ima have a slice right now haha

[@glenrokeats5971]

Really enjoy your videos! SD!!!!!!

[@Jaycation]

Thanks GlenRok!

[@eloisaferruzola3680]

I loved Julian, my daughter and I stayed there 3 days in Christmas 2020 🎄 😍😍😍😍

[@Jaycation]

must have been such a great holiday scene!

[@Lawomenshoops]

How about a video on the trolley going to LaJolla. I know it’s not done yet, but maybe a look at how close the stations are to being completed.

[@Jaycation]

Great idea! I wrote it down on my list... definitely can talk about that.

[@ThePipeiper]

Thanks for this one, bro! Another great informative video!

[@Jaycation]

Much appreciated The Pipe iper!

[@andyman3309]

great vid

[@Jaycation]

Thanks!

[@Double2KK]

I was hoping you added the Julian Pioneer Cemetery, It adds to the charm to the community.

[@Jaycation]

I have bad luck in cemetarys when filming haha

[@HereBeBarr]

Wow, had no idea!! Shoutout to your dad!!

[@Jaycation]

haha manny says hello. great gold mining town!

[@nasirjones-bey5852]

Those pies look delicious man!!

[@Jaycation]

Theyre amazing!

[@babetravelling]

thanks! going here next week. I have no idea what to expect until this vid

[@Jaycation]

Julian is a fun day trip! Apple picking this time of year is a great activity up there. 🍎

[@babetravelling]

@@Jaycation the season is over this time, just checked

[@Jaycation]

Regardless apple pies are amazing year round 🥧

[@johnbehneman1546]

GREAT VIDEO!!!! I LOVE JULIAN!!!!! The last time I went, I was married. We went into many shops off of Main Street. We had an awesome lunch at Baileys BBQ !!!! They have so many activities for the family. Please check out their website. I love Julian for what it is, not what is not. When the storm is completely over, I want to visit and enjoy the weekend there. Thanks for letting me share.

[@Jaycation]

Thanks for sharing your experiences John. I love how you have so many great stories there!

[@angelaaldan2742]

Heyyy welcome to julian not sure if you remember me but you came into the restaurant I work at called miners diner.

[@Jaycation]

Hey Angela! Of course i remember! Glad you found me and commented. Thanks for the awesome service. It was nice talking to u!

[@angelaaldan2742]

@@Jaycation you’re very welcome, of course anytime, come back soon.. it was great meeting you and thank you as well for chatting with me it’s great meeting islanders, not everyday I come across people from the island. Anyways have a bless day

[@jayrock497]

Another great vid brotha ! Keep them coming 🤙🏼🍻

[@Jaycation]

Much appreciated JuneBug!

[@graham974]

Great choice of music in this one!

[@Jaycation]

I figured a little folk hop trap would work! haha

[@RedditStorys223]

I’m on the naval base in San Diego and saw Jullian this weekend. Sadly it was night when I went through but at night the city looked so mysterious and enchanting. I loved it and definitely plan to go again during the day this weekend.

[@barbarastaff2338]

La Jolla Shores beach of choice for a while. The aquarium was just a little spot and free. Went to cool off! Also the zoo was free to 16 and under!🙋‍♀️

[@Jaycation]

I love La Jolla Shores! Thats the closest beach to my house.

[@savageunknownuser5662]

if you’re going to go to julian, I would suggest going to all of the places that sell alcohol even if you don’t like alcohol, there is something for everyone and there is always tasters where you don’t buy a full glass but you buy a small kind of like a shot just to try it and also never get Mom‘s pies. They’re overrated, and the lines are way longer than Julian pies.

[@ChristineLozada]

julian pie is the besssst!!

[@Jaycation]

Sooo good! I went there for the first time since i was like 9 years old. LOVE the pie!

[@StissyBear]

Thanks to your recommendation I been to Julian 3x in like 30 days already!

[@thesoundofviolencepodcast]

Nickel Beer Co is worth a trip on it's own. Everyone I've met who works there is super rad and their beers are fantastic

[@Desert_Brett]

This looks awesome, I'm heading up there tomorrow!

[@joshuabenedictos9440]

Loving your videos man! Always giving me date ideas ;)

[@Jaycation]

Awesome! Thanks Joshua! I hope you have a great V-day with your date!

[@1_love571]

Amazing like going back in time! Thanks!👍

[@DiJourne]

Great to know about this place. ☺️

[@colleenfunderburk1856]

Thanks for taking my advice 🙂

[@Jaycation]

It best serves everyone for me to take your advice! haha thanks!

[@visitjuliancalifornia2586]

This is a great video. We have added it to our Visitor Center Playlist, streaming in town hall.

[@Jaycation]

Thank you for the love! I would love to come back sometime and collaborate with Visit Julian & show more of this beautiful town!

[@meleenabradley3017]

Romanos restaurant is so Delicious 😋

[@monica-NJ-123]

Thank you for this video , it’s on my list to visit and you really helped with all your information 😘

[@barbarastaff2338]

Used to camp in Borrego alot. Cuyamaca has or had a little falls where we would slide down the rocks into a pool of water. Fun days.

[@Jaycation]

only went to Cuyamaca once... horrible time as a kid haha probably why i dont like camping.

[@Maxtheyellowlabrador]

Jaycation is like my new favorite youtube channel

[@starmessenger]

OMG, that pie!

[@williamcooper2368]

Great video, I grew up going there.

[@Jaycation]

Great day trip from SD!
