Family Fun

Last week we traveled with my husband down to Petaluma CA, combining a business trip into some family fun.

The weather was something else down there. We were right in the middle of that huge storm system they were having. We saw torrential rain, high winds, downed trees, flooded & closed roads, a little bit of sunshine & several rainbows.

 

 

We took the kids to Mission San Francisco Solano in Sonoma. This was their first mission & they thought it was pretty neat

We also visited the barracks & an old boarding house/hotel that are in the same square.

 

Across the street was the Bear Flag Monument commemorating California's freedom from Mexican rule on July 9, 1846.

On our way home, we stopped in Fairfield & toured the Jelly Belly Factory.

 

Here is everybody in front of a Jelly Belly portrait of Ronald Reagan ~~my husbands favorite president~~

 

The tour was really neat. We got to see all the steps in making the candy & get free samples

 

The tour itself is free. So if you are ever passing thru Fairfield, it is definitely worth stopping.

We had fun but it is always nice to be home.

Next week we will head down to the Red Bluff Bull Sale for the week. It is a whirl-wind month of travel for us.

Blessings.
