For winter break, my parents and I will be spending a few days in Vegas and a few days in California (San Francisco, maybe LA, claims my father). I’ve already made a huge list of places I want to visit. It’s impossible to hit them all, but the Jelly Belly Factory must happen. I was in San Francisco with friends last spring break, and no one would go with me then, but I’m sure Mom and Dad will be happy to go along.
- Jelly Belly Factory tour
- Scharffen Berger tour
- Vosges chocolates
- Charles Chocolates
- LA Farmer’s Market
- Joseph Schmidt
- Cocoa Bella
- Citizen Cake
- Lotta’s Bakery
- Munchies
- Chocolates a la Carte
- Chuao Chocolatiers
I think my parents underestimated how long it takes to drive from place to place. LA to San Francisco should be a day-long drive on its own, and we’re only going to be away for a week total.
Oh well. I’ll be happy if we manage to hit just a few of the places on my list. Hopefully Mom and Dad will never realize that their idea of a nice family vacation will actually become “Rosa tries to get Mom and Dad to buy her lots of expensive candy”.
List of places gleaned from David Lebovitz and Cybele from Candy Blog.
