Dee and Dolly had told us to take our kids to the Jelly Belly factory when we were on our way back to Sacramento from San Francisco so we did.... and it did not disappoint. Of all the attractions we saw, this was our kids favorite. Max was especially enthralled with the machinery and tools being used. Addy and Boston loved the candy. It was a blast. A great memory for our family!
When Travis was kid, he would spend most of his summers at his Grandma Janet and Grandpa Ed's house. It was a tradition to go to Fairytale land. Each time we are in Sacramento we make it a point to take our kids to Fairytale Land. They all had an enjoyable experience. I am thinking the next time we go Addy will be a little older and not so in to it.... so I am so glad we went this time and grateful my kids can make memories in the same places Travis did.
While we were in Sacramento we decided we wanted our kids to see San Francisco as well. We drove to Muir Woods and Addy and Boston were in awe at how many and how big the trees were. It was slightly raining and that made it all the more fun for them. Boston started chit chatting with one of the female workers there and she ended up kinda taking us on this little tour and giving us tidbits of information we would not have otherwise known about Muir Woods it was such a great experience and Im so glad they got to see it.
Grandma Janet has not been able to meet Max and Emmy so Travis and I decided during Addy and Boston's spring break we were going to take a trip to Sacramento to see Grandma, Dee and Dolly. We drove down and the kids pretty well. Max started getting really restless toward the end. We were so excited to see Grandma, Dee and Dolly when we got there though. It was a great time full of memories. We were able to see, talk, and hear a lot about family history as is typical at Grandma's house. We spent nights having wonderful talks about life, the gospel, family life and memories. Our kids enjoyed playing on the swing in the Atrium and Addy and Boston loved climbing the big hill in the backyard. We went to the graves of Grandpa Ed and showed Boston who he was named after. We taught our children about Uncle Alan. It was such an enjoyable trip.
