We went to visit Jake and Katie down in Atlanta, GA for Labor Day weekend. It was great to see their new home, Jake's Law school, the hospital where their first baby will be born very soon! The trip was very relaxing and it had some cool highlights. Hope you enjoy some of the pictures.
Katie in their great apartment! So cute!

Katie and Jake already were all moved in. I was so impressed with how organized they were the house looked amazing.

Me with the Vespa helmet. So cool.
We went to Stone Mountain. It was so fun it is basically what the name says...it is all flat around and then this massive smooth stone pops out of no where and is like a mountain. In the stone an engraving of some of the civil war heroes are carved. One of them is Stonewall Jackson-which I found out from my Mom that I am related to. The south is such a different world. Everyone gathers here and then when it gets dark there is a laser and fireworks show. It was really cool, however, in the middle there was a whole tribute to the confederate flag! It was so funny the south is really not over the outcome of the war. Anyway, it was fun and we had a wonderful picnic.

An original Rockwell painting that features a coke bottle.There is one at the bottom of her dress and on on the table. There are many more Rockwell paintings on display at the world of coke.
I just loved this old dispenser in the barrel.
I liked this one too. This was a dispenser for baseball stadiums.

The baby profile = cute!
At the end of the tour you get to go to the tasting room. There are all these columns and each one represents a nation and all the coke products that are there. You can taste up to 64 coke products. I found a few favorites and most of them were from Latin America. There were some real nasty ones from France. It was fun to watch peoples faces.
Allan in front of North America.
My favorite was "Lift" it tasted like apple beer.
Katie having some fun!
Katie and Allan. They are lovin' the sugar rush!

I guess it wasn't enough sugar because after world of coke we went to Johnny Rockets and got some burgers and milkshakes!
So cute!
