After our two-drive, we arrived at the POM pomegranate orchards.
Or so we thought!?!
We actually arrived at an orchard of almond trees! Cool! 
Most of us had never seen an almond tree, so we were thrilled to experience one up close and personal.
Yay for almonds (and pomegranates)!
We love almonds!
After having fun with the almond trees, it was time for the fly overs of the POM orchards.
I was already pretty nervous, so seeing the tiny 6-person plane didn’t help!
Eek!!! 
But soon the other bloggers started to get really excited about seeing the orchards from high above and their enthusiasm rubbed off on me.
Flying over the POM orchards was obviously a great photo opp for us bloggers!
We snapped tons and tons of photos!
And then it was time to take off!
Flying 1,000 feet above the orchards was such an amazing experience!
It’s definitely one that I will never forget!
Here’s our take-off! It was super exciting!!!
Once we landed, Caitlin and I immediately broke out our laptops and blogged about it!
We’re such dorks! 
And then it was time for lunch!
The POM team packed bagged lunches for us, so I had a turkey sandwich with Sun Chips, a chocolate chip cookie, and a bottle of FIJI water.
I wasn’t really in the mood for turkey, so I replaced it with a layer of Sun Chips instead.
Sun Chips are awesome inside sandwiches!
Stay tuned! More to come!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen an almond tree, how cool!
Looks so beautiful and awesome! I also loooove chips on my sandwiches!
I’m so scared of small planes – I’m glad it turned out okay – looks like beautiful views at least.
I’m not sure I even knew that almonds grew on trees! Sounds like a great trip.
Your pictures are beautiful, it looks like you’re having a great time. And I’m so glad someone else eats chips in sandwiches…it reminds me of elementary school
Enjoy the rest of your trip!
Tina, you and Caitlin could pass for sisters!
You guys are having too much fun…ha ha!
Enjoy!
looks like a great time flying! so nice that POM provided lunches for you all

Aw, I would have been scared of the tiny plane as well!!
Mmm, Sunchips on a sandwich, good call.
I was in a plane once from the San Luis Obispo, CA airport that was ALMOST that small, and I was freaked out!! But what amazing views!!
I am a nervous flyer on huge planes, so I can only imagine how scary I would have been to get on that tiny one! It looks like you guys are having an amazing time!
Almonds grow on trees!? Wow, I never knew that!
I love putting chips on sammies…takes me back to my elementary days!
I love crunchy things inside sandwiches
You are a dork if by DORK you mean “Determine Online Record Keeper” (I just made that up
).
I didn’t know almonds grew on trees. I didn’t know how they were grown but I didn’t think they were a tree nut. Cool new fact of the day for me
An almond tree! So cool!
Gorgeous pics!!!
I had no idea that almonds grew on trees!
Chips in sandwiches are good!!! I used to fly planes smaller than that one by myself.
I haven’t flown in a year but I remember the first time I got in that little plane…..SCARED!!!! Looks like a really fun day though!!
sunchips beat turkey for me any day in sandwiches
let the fun continue!
thanks for sharing!!

I’m so glad that the flyover went well! I definitely get very nervous around small planes, but the build up is always the worst part.
Fantastic pictures!
Looks like so much fun! Fab photo op!
Looks like a blast!
i love chips in my sandwiches. it gives it such a great crunch
What an awesome experience! Glad you are having fun, and I might just have to steal your Sun Chip sammie idea.
i love chips in my sandwiches – perfect amount of crunch (and your fingers stay clean)
It’s so cool to see the almond trees and even the pomegranate. We have them on our “backyard” of our summer house. I used to eat them right out of the tree when I was little eheh
I love the Sun Chips in the sandwich!!Brings back memories…need to start doing it again. cc
