Jelly Belly

Yesterday my dil and I took the visiting grans to the Jelly Belly factory.  While they were all for visiting a place where candy is made, the actual tour wasn't really kid friendly in the sense that .......... well let's just say for them it was done right boring.  So combine that with an hour and a half drive and about a 45 minute wait in line to actually take the tour and well again boring!  There weren't enough jelly bellies in the whole place to compensate for their misery.  And believe me there were trillions and trillions of jelly bellies to be had.

So note to self.  When contemplating a tour of a candy factory probably the best thing to do is just get the candy, share it with the kids and then go in the backyard and let them play in the sprinklers.  That is what you call a win-win situation!!  Believe me, everyone will be happier!!!

We did that when Goy was an infant. Definitely not a tour for wiggly kids. Too long and too much "boring" information... but it was neat to do once :).

Good to know! You'd think they'd cater to kids better. Glad you got some candy along with the knowledge though.
