One the way to Sacramento, we passed the town where Jelly Belly candies are made. Since Brent had two days of work to do, we thought that would be a fun (and delicious) way to pass some time. Nate had already watched the episode of "How It's Made" featuring the Jelly Belly Factory, so he was there to tell us if they skipped any steps. The cooking areas had such an overpowering sweet, sugary smell. I love sweets, but I think working there would seriously curb that habit. (Sign me up for a job!) Unfortunately, cameras weren't allowed where the actually MAKE the candies, but we got some shots before and after.



Free samples. woot woot!

And a tasting bar, where you could sample any of the flavors. We sampled.

The girls really wanted to trade the van in for this set of wheels.
