I am sure I can get the army together and meet you at Jelly Belly. They are always more than willing to go Jelly Belly. Any excuse to go will work with them!!

Sooo cool. Eat some belly flops for me y'all!

I have bought belly flops and my better half will eat them until he gets sick. And this is the bicycle racer.

So here's the motels:

Hampton Inn-Lathrop, CA

HoJo-Anaheim, CA

Homewood Suites-Fairfield, CA

Got a long time to wait...but getting this taken care of makes me feel relieved & excited for the summer to get here!!!!

**Sorry about all the different size pics....I got these from google images & you get what you get**

Hey if you belong to Costco there is one real near your hotel in Fairfield. That and a shopping center with a Safeway and a CVS pharmacy. It's kind of out of Fairfield proper area. I actually recommend that area to people that want to visit the wineries in the Napa Valley and they don't want to pay the Napa Valley prices.

Cool about the Safeway....the suite comes with a full kitchen....so we could possibly make a home-made dinner that night...that would be welcomed after 13 days on the road!!

We used to have a Costco membership...but found we didn't use it very often & if we did....we bought crap we didn't need.....lol

Glad to hear it's a nice area!! This will be the first time we end the trip at the Jelly Belly Factory....but I think doing that will raise the spirits after leaving DL.

 

[kaoden39]

Oh I definitely think so. And there is the Anheiser-Busch plant too that is right there that I think still has tours too. And one of my personal places that you can visit for tasting is the Sepay Olive oil place but beware it's small. I love their steeped oils. Nothing like using oil that smells like blood oranges when you cook.

I got 3 things booked today!!!

We will be staying in Lathrop, CA (just south of Stockton) on our trip down, July 24. I booked 2 rooms both with 2 queen beds at the Hampton Inn. We get free hot breakfast which will save us on one meal that I had originally budgeted in!!

The Disney Travel Package is booked & close to being paid in full!! We will be staying at the HoJo for 9 nights!!!! 2 rooms with 2 queen beds. Not sure what bldg we'll be in but hopefully closer to our trip, I'll be able to call & find out.

On our way home, we've made a small change in plans........WE'RE COMING TO SEE YOU MICHELLE!!! Well at least that would be lovely if we could meet up while we're in Fairfield on Aug 3rd!!!! Mike's mom really wanted to go to the Jelly Belly Factory...so we've added it in on our trip home. We will be staying at the Homewood Suites in a 2 bdrm suite (cheaper than doing 2 rooms this time). We will go to the Jelly Belly Factory the morning of August 4th. When we're done here....time to hit the road & drive home to Salem.

Woo Hoo.......getting things together!!!

I am sure I can get the army together and meet you at Jelly Belly. They are always more than willing to go Jelly Belly. Any excuse to go will work with them!!

Now if we can just get Jessica to drive over from Martinez, it would be perfect.

Hey, I am all game for it provided my mom doesn't want to do anything big for her birthday that involves more than one day (hers is August 3rd).

Yeah, that might make it a little difficult, my kids are thrilled with the thought of Jelly Belly's. They love that place, I always get sugar overload when I am there. The smell just overwhelms.

I honestly don't think I've been to the Jelly Belly Factory since I was in elementary school for a field trip. When I had some friends who lived out in Fairfield (get this - met them at a Sharks game, lol) we always said we'd go do that some random day for kicks but we never did.

Well it's always there. Honestly last year was the first time we had ever been. We ate in their restaurant too and the kids had a jelly bean shaped pizza. It was wild.

 

[DizNee Luver]

Well Jessica it would be awesome if you could come up for that, but totally understand if you have plans with your mom!!

So forgot to mention that I got a new camera last night!!!!!

It's a Canon PowerShot SX120IS (what ever that all stands for.....lol)

Here's a pic of the camera!! Playing with it now to make sure I have it mastered by our trip.

 

[kaoden39]

Cool! A new camera for the trip!!

 

[Belle Ella]

I love new cameras!! Awesome possum!

 

[goofycathy]

Awesome camera!

If I still lived in Napa I would totally meet up with you guys at the Jelly Belly Factory, I always loved that place! The kids and I used to get the rejects and eat them onthe way home while trying to figure out which flavor was what, great memories!

 

[DizNee Luver]

Cathy you just need to plan a little getaway to Napa (which I know you've done in the past) & meet up with us!!! Woo Hoo Party at the Jelly Belly!!!!!

 

[kaoden39]

Quite a party indeed.

 

[Belle Ella]

Woo Hoo Party at the Jelly Belly!!!!!
