Visit to the World of Coca-Cola

While his family was here we took a visit to the World of Coca-Cola.  Ally looks  a little terrified in this picture. It was a really neat museum. 

Kylie wore her Cherry Coke shirt- she is so cute! I loved all the old coke machines, they were really neat!
Here we are with the "Polar Bear" - Ally was a little scared of him. He kept waving to her with his finger and he had little claws at the end and she said later that he kept trying to scratch her. So I explained that he was waving at her because he couldn't talk. 
This is in the tasting room- these coke bottles move all around the ceiling of the room.
Here is Todd tasting different drinks- there are over 6o different drinks from all over the world.
This is the one from Asia- there are drinks from Africa, Europe, Latin America and North America. I tried two from Africa, and one from Asia and said yeah these are gross I don't want all that mixture of carbonation. Well Todd was the opposite- he tried all of them and then wished he had not, too much carbonation and mixtures!
This is the Pop Culture room- the couch the girls are sitting on is from Season 4 of American Idol- Carrie Underwood sat on this couch!

There was a display of all sorts of things made out of coke cans. Sorry it is kind of difficult to see, I didn't use my flash, but there was still a glare.



This was a painting by Penley- I thought his paintings were really neat.
Here is the gang in the tasting room- this room was just different flavors of coke. Cheers!
At the end of the tour you get to take a bottle of coke home with you.

Thank you Gramma, Papa and Aunt Lesley for coming down to visit we had such a great time!

That looks like a really cool place to visit. I remember trying all the different foreign coke flavors at Epcot once. Some good, some not so good. :)
