I took a weekend trip with my friend Sarah (and her daughters Sydney & Jennifer) to visit our other friend Rene who recently moved to Georgia!
We spent a beautiful spring day in downtown Atlanta exploring the Centennial Olympic Park
View from the park
Built in 1996 to host the Summer Olympics
We enjoyed a picnic lunch in the park!
Baby Jennifer wakes up to join the nice weather and watches as Rene and Sydney thoroughly enjoy their apples!!
Transfreight buddies:
Rene & Kerri
Next stop is the World of Coca-Cola
The self-guided tour was brightly colored with interesting information and educational tidbits sprinkled in
We even got an adorable group photo with the beloved Coca-Cola bear!!
This was my favorite part, but Sydney was deathly afraid of this "plush monster"!
International Coca-Cola bottles from around the world!
More cool bottles...
Kerri & Sydney pose with the Coca-Cola runway bottles designed for the 2009 Fashion Week in Milan
Let's have a drink at this sweet soda fountain!
Sarah shows us the actual torch from the opening ceremony of the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino (Italy).
It was surprisingly heavy!
Obviously this sign is super old...
Can you imagine a 16 oz. soda serving 3 people today?! LOL
The crew ready for our 4-D Coke movie!!
Sydney wasn't so thrilled about the fourth dimension shaking her seat and spraying her with water,
but this one was Rene's favorite!
Towards the end of the tour, we got to taste over 60 Coke products from around the world.
Just so you know, Asia brought back a few memories for me, Latin America waters down all of their drinks, and Europe has truly terrible taste buds (stay away from Beverly at all costs).
Ahh, KG finally finds the "normal" Coke products to wash away all of those other funky tastes!!
Final stop on the tour, each person gets to grab and take home a glass bottle of Coke that was bottled in the museum earlier the same day!!
On the walk back to the car, we passed the Fountain of Rings in the park and Rene convinced Sydney to give it a try!
Sydney made it to the middle of the ring with her new friend, and now she needs to find a way to get back out!
It looks fun, so KG decides to give it a try.
The real question is: Did I make it out of the Fountain of Rings without getting totally wet?
