Disney Trip (May 19, 2013): "Dad, I want one of those hammers..." Edition

The Atlanta City Pass included admission to the World of Coca-Cola. Unless you're one of those wacko Coke memorabilia collectors, there is one reason, and only one reason, to visit this attraction: Taste It. Taste It is a room in which you can sample 65 Coke products from around the world. Grab a cup, buddy. Before.











After. Yikes. PS: Do not, under any circumstances, try Beverly.











On to Turner Field. Braves v. Dodgers. As this photo was taken, it had just started to rain. By the time we entered the stadium, it was pouring sheets of rain.









Two hour rain delay allows ample time to do other fun things. Lose a tooth!
 








Pretend to be Bobby Cox!
 










See amazing historical relics (the Henry Aaron 715 ball and bat!)!












Eat the most delicious burger I've ever had! Really. This is the Turner Field version of the legendary Holeman & Finch burger. And it was extraordinary. It included hand-cut fries and a Coke (naturally) and was an absolute bargain at $15!
 








But the purpose of the visit was baseball. The 2 hour rain delay eventually ended .... only to be followed a few innings later by another rain delay!











After 4 hours, we'd seen only 5 innings of baseball. We bailed and had an amazing meal at Mary Mac's Tea Room, which was every bit as good as we'd heard. Worth the maddening parking and the wait.
