Well friends, here we are. The final day of our trip. We slept in a little on this day since we got in so late the night before. Then we had to pack our bags! Moving into a rental car for a week made it really difficult to pack everything especially because our suitcase broke! We had plans to buy a new one, but never got that done on the trip. Luckily, I had brought a few extra small bags for our beach days so we stuffed everything into four small bags!! I have no idea why I didn't take a picture of that. It was a mess!
We stopped for breakfast at Chick-fil-a, which turned out to be too late because they were already serving lunch!! Lucky for me, they still gave me breakfast food! Another fun fact about our car, the cup holder wasn't even big enough to hold two regular sized drinks!!! Seriously!?! Who would want to drive a car like this?!?!
We arrived in Atlanta and checked out downtown. A ferris wheel in the middle of downtown, how cool!!
We planned to tour the World of Coca-Cola. The park it sat on was very pretty.
We enjoyed our first of many free bottles of Coke!
We enjoyed the tour. It was very interesting! We learned tons of new facts.
There was entire art gallery devoted to Coke!
And here are several of the Olympic torches used.
Also, the vault that holds the secret recipe!!
There was also a 4D movie and several old commercials to watch while we were there. We ended up spending most of the day there while sampling flavors of Coke from around the world. The gift shop sold Coke bottles decorated for every event possible!
We also left with our own glass bottle souvenirs.
After the tour, we headed over to Olympic Park.
If Atlanta is looking for a new ad picture for the city, I think they could use this one!
We also headed over to the CNN building.
Look at all those flags! We were in heaven practicing naming all those countries!!
We also ran over to see where the Hawks play.
Here they are building the new Georgia Dome. So many cranes!
Outside the Hawks stadium. What a cool front! I hardly noticed it said "ATLANTA" until I did a double take!
We headed to the airport and dropped off our car. 3500 miles!! I think that ended up being more miles than our last road trip to Canada!
The day after we got back we put our new pictures onto our map. We could not have done it sooner! We were so excited!! Now you can see it too as I have been talking about it when writing about our entire trip.
I hope you enjoyed recapping our vacation with us! If you missed any days, click below:
