World of Coca-Cola

Last spring break, I had planned to take the kids to World of Coke. On the day we were planning to go, we decided that we didn't feel like going. So we postponed our outing until summer. Then school started and we still hadn't made it there.

Then this past Labor Day weekend, we had a late, late, late football game/marching performance on Friday night. James didn't get released to go home until after 1:30 am. By the time we got home, it was almost 2am. Since it was Labor Day weekend, we had plans to go to the DragonCon parade. Because we all were super tired, we decided to skip the parade for the first time in several years.

So where does the World of Coke come into play? Well, by the time Sunday had arrived and we were feeling better rested, we decided that we would go to World of Coke. It was a destination that we knew would not garner any complaints from either of the kids.

I must also apologize for the picture quality. Our camera recently broke and I was limited to taking pics on my phone. My phone takes okay pictures, but because of the size, it's harder for me to tell when things are not clear. So I don't always know when to reshoot a picture. The husband is investigating new cameras for me.

Some Coca-Cola memorabilia.

These are all Olympic torches that have been sponsored by Coca-Cola.

James and Hannah got to hold a torch from the 1996 Atlanta Olympic games.

And here they are holding a 2012 Olympic torch.

 Some "Coke" artwork.

Part of the family posing with the Coca Cola Polar Bear. James didn't want to be in the picture. The Polar Bear was amused by Hannah's tank top. He kept pointing at the Panda Bear.

Hannah stands in front of the vault where the formula for Coca Cola is supposedly kept.

Then of course, there's the tasting room.

 

 

There were lots of  Coke products to try. Some better than others - we knew from our last trip not to get try the Beverly soda from Italy. 

There were several of the Coca Cola Freestyle machines for tasting.

And of course, plenty of Coke.

On the way out we each got our own little Coca Cola bottle.

While we were downtown, we did get to see many costumed people from DragonCon wandering around. Maybe we'll make it back to DragonCon next year.
