We wanted to get away after this long, very cold miserable winter......so we went up to
Gurnee with the Trotters to stay over night in a hotel, swim, and then tour the Jelly Belly factory. The boys love swimming and were happy to spend a couple hours in the pool on Saturday night.
Sunday we drove about 15 minutes to the Jelly Belly factory. You climb aboard this train (which Mason was
sooooooo excited about) and they drive you around the storage area for the candies and tell you all the history and info. Some was a bit boring , while some of the information was
interesting (such as how the candy is made). A free sample of the candies were given after the tour. You exit out of the tour into the store. The boys were excited to be able to taste some really disgusting flavors--baby wipes, vomit, ear wax, boogers...to name a few......
