We're a six person homeschooling family--complete with one 62 pound "puppy" and two grumpy part-Siamese cats-- on a cross-country pilgrimmage to a new brand new life (in the dead of winter). Come along for the ride! Is there a Starbucks near here?

Jelly Bellys!!!

Note: The dates on these posts are inaccurate. We've written our posts on the road and have updated whenever and wherever we are able to hit the internet...which, so far, hasn't been that often. I'll also update photos later.

Today we went to Target. For my Hawaii friends:



Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!(that should be angelic singing)


I love Target. 'nuf said.


By chance, we saw a sign for "The Best Factory Tour in the United States" at the Jelly Belly factory in Fairfield, CA. The tour was free, and included free candy...how could we pass that up? Besides, Jelly Bellys were put on the map by none other than Ronald Reagan. 5 1/2 stars.


And Hubby found a post-Air Force job opportunity!

Then we ate at Chevy's, which is a chain Mexican restaurant, but was new to us so we tried it out. Yummy! I'm a sucker for fresh tortillas and house-made salsa and chips. We walked off without the substantial leftover box we made up, so no lunch the next day. :-(
I thought we had a great meal, but my picky family gave it only 3 1/2 stars.

After we ate, Hubby and I took the kids back to the TLF and then went out to Barnes and Noble for a wireless internet fix. I'm sorry we're not getting hooked up as often as we'd like to update...please keep checking. I'm writing my posts in "notepad" and will upload them as soon as I have the chance.

And don't forget to add your comments!!!
Breakfast: Eggs and bacon in the room
Lunch: Jelly Bellys!

Ok, I am completely convinced that I have been to that exact Target!!! If not, then I suppose they must look exactly alike... I'm so weird remembering what a Target that I have been to once, more than a year ago, looks like... lol!

Anyways, I miss you guys so much! I have been praying for you, and I hope you guys have a fun, safe rest of the trip!
