CNN, Coke and Fish

Today was a full day! We started at CNN for a tour. Funny enough, the tour was the 9 of us, two guys that were from Malvern, one British lady and our tour guide who was from LR. It was neat to see it from behind the scenes. The esculator is the worlds longest free standing esculator. They charge you to ride it and then you get a free CNN tour.

Then we moved on to the New World of Coke. It included some history on Coke, lots of artifacts, a 4D movie and you could taste more than 60 different Coke products from around the world.

Last, on to the Georgia Aquarium. It's the largest in the country and is a beautiful place. If you're ever in Atlanta, you MUST go. It was my second trip and it's always worth it.

The biggest thing that happened here had nothing to do with the Aquarium, but one of Kevin's biggest dreams ever came true. He got to meet Jim Cantore from The Weather Channel. No pics, but he was very excited and so was I. We have had a long standing agreement that if Cantore was ever in Memphis reporting, we would drop everything and go to meet him. But as we were getting food in the food court at the Aquarium I looked up and said "OH MY!" Kevin thought something was wrong and I said "It's Jim Cantore." Kevin said "Where, Where." I pointed to him and we both took off after him. I think we freeked him out until Kevin said "We are friends with Ryan Vaughn and Trey Stafford." I said, "We live in Jonesboro." Then he said "Oh, ya'll got a great thing going on there." Then we said thanks and let him go with his kids. Hopefully he didn't think we were nut jobs! LOL

Then we went back to the warehouse for 4 hours to inspect and load more shoeboxes.
