Day six of the vacation was scheduled for me. . . a tour of the Pabst Mansion, the Miller Brewery tour (ok, that was really for Brandon) and the Jelly Belly factory tour! I love touring restored houses and this one did not disappoint!
This is the front entrance - the only picture we were allowed to take. The first two stories were restored and the third story was dedicated to offices. The wood work detailing was stunning!
After this tour was over, Brandon had arranged a private tour of the Miller Brewery which was very interesting and ended with a sampling! The kids did a great job - there was a lot of walking involved and this wasn't exactly the most kid friendly activity!
Sarah took our picture & she did a great job!
During our sample, there were postcards on the table you could fill out & send to American troops - what an awesome idea!
Sarah was so excited to take this picture, saying "Cheers"
The kids thought these hats were so cool!
Next was what Caleb had waited all day for. . . jelly beans! You got to ride on a little train for the tour, which was very intesting - I think. I only really heard a small portion of what was being said because Caleb kept yelling "I WANT JELLY BEANS." The tour was only 30 minutes, but felt very long while Caleb was eyeing all the jelly beans he wanted to eat! Finally at the end of the tour everyone got a free sample bag of jelly belly jelly beans! We were so excited! Caleb ate almost the entire bag by the time we got to our hotel!
