On Saturday we decided to make the drive to Fairfield, CA to see the Jelly Belly Factory. Tours are free and you get to see where and how they make their famous candies. It's interesting, but the kids got a bit bored. Thankfully at the end they hand out free samples. They really get you though in the giftshop. How can you not purchase several pounds of tasty jelly beans? Especially after thinking about them for the last hour. Naturally we succumbed and came home with a few bags of their most interesting flavors. We also discovered an amazing treat in their chocolate and fudge shop. I'm not sure how to describe it other than a ball of chocolate, peanut butter, rice krispie, and marshmallow goodness. It was big enough for the whole family to share and it was heavenly! Note to self, if we ever go back we need more of these for sure.
No pictures were allowed on the tour, so we didn't get much. It was a fun day though. On the drive home we drove through this cool arch of trees.
We came home and relaxed. Finally got to use our hot tub. It's been a giant pain to get the thing up an running. It still isn't perfect. Thankfully though it was good enough to try out. Those jets felt super good!
