Jelly Belly!

In exchange for letting them see the wineries yesterday, Mom & Dad had a special treat for Harrison and me today. They took us to the Jelly Belly factory! There are so many jelly beans inside of that place!!! It was a really fun tour (well, Mom & Dad enjoyed the tour...I just wanted to know when I'd get my blue jelly bean!). Did you know that President Reagan helped make Jelly Belly known nationwide and that they created the blueberry jelly bean (my personal favorite) for his inauguration??? Fascinating stuff! They also call the rejected jelly beans "belly flops" (funny, huh?) but they must not be too bad of a flop because you can buy a bag of them at the gift shop for EIGHT dollars! We ate lunch in the jelly belly cafe where most of the food comes out shaped like a jelly bean and then let Harrison go for a ride in the car (everytime he sees one of those things he goes nuts!). I also found a bunch of those fun house mirrors and had fun laughing at myself. You might have to click on the picture of me looking into one of them to see better, but my eyes got really scary in one of them!

We're back at Ryan & Brooke's for one more night and then we sadly have to say goodbye. Tomorrow is the longest driving day of our trip so keep your fingers crossed that we do okay. We're hoping to make it all the way to Salt Lake City! We'll write more from there...
