Dr Pepper Museum

 
 
 
 
So Jen got the last pick of the trip and chose to go to the Dr Pepper Museum. I had never gone there before so it was something new for me. It wasn't quite as commercialized as the Coke Museum in Atlanta and it was tastefully done and quaint. We enjoyed walking around and learning a little about Dr Pepper and then stopped for a treat at the soda fountain where the soda jerk made our drinks for us. Then we went outside to get a couple of photos with the trucks on display before taking Jen back to the Waco Regional Airport.

We had such a great time with Auntie Jen! We squeezed quite a lot into 3 days and hope that she had fun, too! Come back anytime!

 
 
 
 

Waco: Cameron Park Zoo

 
 
 
 
So Tuesday Jen was going to be flying out of Waco in the evening so it made sense to go back to Waco early enough to enjoy some of the sites that city has to offer. I actually have been quite surprised by the offerings of such a seemingly smallish sized city. But that just makes it all the greater for us to want to visit. So I let Ian decide which he would prefer, The Mayborn Museum or the Cameron Park Zoo. Ian picked the zoo. It was such a lovely day outside that I was quite glad that was his choice. So we whipped out our membership card, walked through the gate, enjoyed another lunch alfresco and then went around and saw the animals. The boys really loved the slides there. Aaron especially loves the one at the playground and they both giggled with glee as they went down the one in the otter exhibit. Auntie Jen was there to catch Aaron so he could go since I could help him up the stairs. I went with him down the big slide at the playground and Jen snapped a picture of us. Aaron even giggles with anticipation. I can't wait for Bill to come home so he can take him. :)

We had a lovely time at the zoo!
