Road Trip Part 2

We are finally back on the road..........(after being in Southern California for 15 wks)
We left San Dimas, Ca on Thursday July 8 and drove through Hollywood.......

played a little paparazzi........

Hey Marc, where's JLo?

He gave us a nice wave and took off in his Ferrari......... I thought it was Vin Diesel in the passenger seat but after looking at these pictures I don't think it is???? maybe???

Then we headed up Hwy 101 along the coast.......very hairy drive in a Motor home!

I think I yelled, "Justin!" about a million times......

He tends to enjoy the scenery way too much when he's driving.

It was a beautiful drive though!



We stopped on the side of the road and made lunch.......

Continued heading North.....Stopped at Pismo Beach made Spaghetti and went to bed.

Woke up and headed to San Fransisco......It was freezing and foggy.....

but we got clam chowder to warm us up!

walked around fisherman's wharf......got a new badge to add to the jackets.

said hi to the Boudin Bread man......

took a cab around town(not sure if SF cab drivers are crazier than NY cab drivers??) Both crazy!

The crazy cab driver took us down Lombard St. the "crookedest" street in SF.

We enjoyed a fun filled day in SF and left by driving the RV over the Golden Gate Bridge......

Everyone got in their PJ's and Daddy drove a little bit farther......then we all went to bed!

Another big day ahead...you know what I mean.......Jelly Bean! (yes, I annoyed the kids by saying that all day ha!)

Day 2:

Jelly Belly Factory Tour!


we enjoyed seeing how Jelly Belly's are made and the history behind the company. We also enjoyed trying many different flavors.

The kids even dared each other to try some of these.......

Landen trying the "Booger".........ewwww!

He said Jelly Belly's got nothing on his boogers...his are way better...double ewwwwwwwww!

We couldn't use our camera on the tour so here is our attempt at a picture with our factory hats on...a little awkward....

moving on...........

Enjoyed lunch in the parking lot and brainstormed on Jelly Belly flavors......

Faith came up with some good ones....Pancakes and Syrup flavor. Then for her gross flavor she thought of soap. That way when parents need to have their kids mouths rinsed out with soap they can just give them a Jelly Belly. Gotta love her ha!

We snacked on Jelly Belly's as we drove some more......FYI each Jelly Belly has 4calories. I had about 4,000 calories in just Jelly Belly's alone today!

But I think I hiked it off!

We stopped about an hour outside of Napa County. (Beautiful drive through Napa) Note to self: Go back without kids:)

Daddy pulled over on the side of the road and said, "all you rednecks put on your swimsuits!"

Us hicks hiked down to a stream........

to cool off and get all the wiggles out!
It was a beautiful spot.

We checked for ticks this time as everyone got back in the RV and continued on the road.....

We are now parked at a beautiful campsite surrounded by Redwoods......

No ER visits in the first 3 days of our trip....

only one bloody nose.

Thanks for following along on our crazy adventure (again)..........
