the happiness factory

Our first stop on our big summer vacation was Atlanta, Georgia.
We only spent one day there, but we knew just what to hit.
The World of Coca-Cola for Jessie and the Atlanta Braves game for Preston.
Just plenty of treats and special attention for the kiddos.

I was a little skeptical of the thought of touring a Coke "Museum" but it was actually really neat.
It started off with a video on their new ad campaign about "the happiness factory"
and what happens when you stick coins into a Coke machine.
I must admit that it does deliver some serious happiness.

The kids loved playing with these lip puppets...
...and pretending to get Coke from this antique man (when Coke was still $.05)...
After touring the Coca-Cola artifacts, watching the bottling demonstration, and seeing a 4-D movie the big finale was the tasting room.
The favorite was Coke from North America-surprise surprise!
The least favorite (think medicine that burns) was Beverly from Italy.

Sheer happiness.

Hi,

I am great friends with Jessica Davenport and Cesily. I stumbled upon your blog through their blogs. Anyways, can I ask where you got those cute letter hooks for the bows?
Thanks

That one wasn't Coke, Janelle. I was "Mello Yellow".

Aunna- I got the hooks at Hobby Lobby. I hope that helps!
