Last weekend was as rainy and cool as they predicted. One of those weekends to stay indoors. Thank goodness that we only have a few days of bad weather each year. Anyway, after doing some needed cleaning around the house (indoors), we decided to take a short drive to the mall on Sunday morning. We walked around North County Fair for an hour buying a few early Christmas presents and decided to leave for some lunch. On a whim I took Sunset Dr. south towards Lake Hodges. It was just before one o`clock and there was a small farmers market setting up in a dirt parking lot. More than likely, due to the rain, mainy of the potential vendors decided to stay home. I understand that this market will be there every Sunday from 1:00 to 5:00. We decided to check out Sike`s Adobe House just past the farmers market. Sike`s Adobe House is part of the San Dieguito River Park. This is a park in progress. They are still working on purchasing land to create a park from the ocean in Del Mar to Volcan Mountain near Julian. Anyway the Sike`s was recently reopened in April of 2010 after the fires of October 2007 destroyed most of the home. They have done a great job of restoring the house to it`s original construction which started in 1870. This is a very interesting stop with some great trails to hike nearby. The home and history of the old town of Bernardo is worth a short day trip. Enjoy!
