The adventures of Denis and Julie began when they met on the first day of medical school in 1995. During medical training they traveled the country in a 97 celiac living in a different city most every month for 2 years. During and between they prioritized extended travels abroad from medical exchange and courtship in Spain and England to honeymoon in Honduras and several adventures in South American including Galapagos and Easter Island. Last hurrah before parenthood was a pilgrimage to the first country to track Gross National Happiness, Bhutan. Harrison joined on in 2009, getting his first passport at 3 months old. At 5 Harrison became probably the only child to scooter from Long Beach to San Diego in a 3 day trek - Denis biking with a travel trailer, and Julie on skates as the caboose. School years and COVID has caused a pivot toward local camping and skiing, when Wrightwood property Mandala 1 joined the team.
While we enjoy cosmopolitan fine dining as much as the next guy, most of their meals are home cooked, of 28 meals per week, the Bolton’s prepare from scratch or leftovers 24 of the meals, many week nights with drop in friends and on weekend breakfasts. After 20 years of this they’ve learned many of cooking and food prep tricks to share.
When not cooking and traveling and having fun, Denis works as partner in a hospital based Radiology group, while Julie practices Family Medicine in a private group in Newport Beach. Harrison currently lives with relatives abroad and attends the Giggleswick Academy. Their 18 year old cat Nigel, enjoys being petted and laying in the sun
