Friday...

Ok... here's more details... just in case you didn't understand our exciting weekend get-away through my maps.

Although I can't believe anyone WOULDN'T understand after that detailed display...

So Friday we left San Diego bright and early.  Mr. Incredible still didn't know where we were heading until we got to the airport...

...But then I told him- we were off to...

Oakland!

Well, not really Oakland... but that's where the plane landed.

We picked up the rental car and drove to Fairfield...

Does anyone know what's in Fairfield?













...Anyone???




Ok...

The Jelly Belly Factory!  We took the candy-coated free tour... which was actually quite fascinating!  They gave out free samples, showed us where they tumble, sort, stamp, package, and do everything else you could possibly do to a Jelly Bean.  Unfortunately, no cameras allowed... so this is all you get.

But we did end up with a bag of Jelly Bellies flavored in honey (yum!), pear, various kinds of soda, orange sherbet, and a few gross flavors for my brother (ear wax, boogers, barf, dog food, and pencil shavings I think... and yes, they really do taste like that...don't ask me how I know...)

After our teeth were about to fall out from the sugar ingestion, we packed up our jelly bellies and drove to...

Napa!  And somehow I managed to find the one hillside in the entire valley without grape vines everywhere!  But look at that yellow- its mustard season in Napa and it was beautiful!

We stayed at winery/hotel/resort that was really beautiful... but nothing in comparison to this:

We grabbed dinner and turned in early for our big day of exploring on Saturday!
