Days 1, 2 & 3: Atlanta, Birmingham and Mobile

It has been a busy couple of days!  After our Walmart stay, we got up and drove to Atlanta to visit The World of Coca-Cola.  We had been told by a few people that this was really cool and my kids were looking forward to the tasting station where you could try sodas from all over the world as well as over 100 combinations of coca-cola drinks.  Needless to say, we had our fill of soda for a while as our bellies were sloshing around!  We saw their 4-D movie, some history of Coke, walked through the way they package it and saw many things made out of coke bottles in the gift shop.  Sadly, my kids are past the age that they wanted to be photographed with the Coke Polar Bear!

So this is the sofa from the American Idol set from season 4.  This is where they 

interviewed the contestants in the green room.

Anyone remember Max Headroom?  You do if you're my age!!

After visiting the World of Coke and having lunch, we drove to Birmingham, AL.  That means we only have two states to go!  We added that Alabama sticker to our map today!

In Birmingham, we went to "Locked In", where they lock you in one of three scenarios, a Warehouse, a Laboratory or a Classroom (easy to hard in that order), and you use clues and keys to try and decipher the code to the door so you can escape.  It was a lot of fun.  We did the lab and without our kids' help, I think Kevin and I might still be in the room! :)  We escaped with 5 minutes left on the clock and on average, only 33% of groups that do the lab are able to figure out the code.  See, smart kids!  

Afterwards, we drove to Mobile, AL which is where we are tonight.  Hoping to catch some sights here tomorrow before heading on to New Orleans on Tuesday.  Thanks for following along with us!
