dr. pepper museum

 We headed up to the big city Waco and visited the Dr. Pepper Museum.  Spencer's family love's dr. pepper and so we had to check it out.

 Waco, Texas is where Dr. Pepper was first created and discovered!  There was a lot of history on how it all got started by a pharmacist...pretty cool

 they had tons of original bottles, containers, dispensers, pop machines, you name it if it had a Dr. Pepper label, the museum had it

 but lets me honest, we really came to taste test!  I was hoping they would be handing out Dr. Pepper right and left, but they didn't.  They had a small soda fountain where you could buy all sorts of soda's and combinations.  Because it was Valentines we decided to try a BIG RED float (another soda created in waco texas that tastes a lot like red cream soda)

 the girls gave to red float a big thumbs up!

it was only weeks later after creating our own red floats we realized that BIG RED has just as much caffeine as mt dew.....no wonder the girls were wild and crazy!

 Spence is  now obsessed with Red Floats and every chance he gets he sneaks away to walmart to get more supplies. 

we had a fun time at the  museum, we had to check it off the list of things to do, but i don't think we will be going back anytime soon. the tour took about 20min, and the gift shop was a little sad.  i was hoping for a magnet or spoon to add to our collection but they didn't have any.  the best part about the museum was the $6 red float at the end.
