We left the Yosemite area on much better roads than the way we arrived. Let's just say the GPS doesn't always know best! Once we got out of the mountains we entered farm country and the roses were simply gorgeous. There were literally fences of roses. Unfortunately we didn't stop to take any pictures. We also began to encounter grape vines... lot's and lot's of grape vines. We stopped at an RV park near San Juan Bautista. The next morning we lazed around a bit and then headed to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. I had read on the website to expect to spend 2-3 hours. They were wrong. We arrived around 12 and stayed till they closed at 6. It was the best aquarium I've ever been too. The displays were so full that you could stare at them for a long time and still not see all the life that was in them. They also had lot's of hands-on displays. We even got to touch a bat ray. We ended up going out for dinner as we were all to hungry to drive the 30 miles home and then cook a meal.
The next day we headed north. Andrea had seen that the Jelly Belly factory in Fairfield had free tours and was really interested in going. So we indulged her and took a tour and got some free samples. It was actually really enjoyable! We ended up buying a bag of "belly flops" that we've been enjoying along the road. We parked in Rohnert Park, about 30 miles north of San Francisco for the next 3 days.
