Experiencing new destinations awakens my senses, making me crave the adventure of each place I set out to explore. My biggest ambition in life is to travel to new destinations I have never been, but I must have my husband by my side to savor the adventure together. Over the years my husband and I have taken a copious amount of vacations, with San Francisco, California, and Atlanta, Georgia, being the two comparably large metropolitan cities we have been. They both offer historical points of interest that teach you interesting facts. For example, In Atlanta we learned about the history of Coca-Cola. While in San Francisco, we learned the history about Alcatraz prison. However I preferred learning about the history of Coca-Cola, rather than the

When we visited Atlanta we purchased a City pass. The CityPASS included tickets to: The Georgia Aquarium, World of Coca-Cola Museum, Atlanta Zoo, College Football Hall of Fame and the Inside Cable News Network (CNN) Studio tour. Over the length of a three- day weekend, we were successful in experiencing all of those places. My favorite one being the Coca-Cola Museum. It was the second day of our vacation when we visited the World of Coca-Cola Museum. While we were waiting to enter the museum an employee told us some facts about the museum, and preformed a card trick. Upon entering, the first thing that caught my attention was an art display of sizeable coke bottles. They had scenes painted on them, showing the different countries around the world. I treasured the tasting room at the Coca-Cola Museum, because of all the different flavored sodas I have never tried. In the tasting room there were stations for each country. The different stations of Coke’s were from: Europe, Asia, Latin America, Africa and North America. Each station having their own uniquely flavored Coke from that region. I remember trying one named The Beverly, and it tasted so bitter. The Beverly was bitter because it was a grapefruit flavored soda. I also remember trying several fruit infused sodas like; strawberry, grape, guava, pineapple, apple, cherry, vanilla, …show more content…
However Atlanta had the best American style restaurants we experienced, making Atlanta our favorite of the two cities when it came to barbeque. When we took our trip to Atlanta there was one American styled restaurant that trumped the others. It was a bar called, Park Bar. First thing I noticed when we looked at their menu was what they call; build your own burger. This means you create the burger of your dreams, and with any toppings they had available. It is a genius concept, because you get exactly what you want. With the build your own burger, you first chose the type of patty you wanted. They had; beef, bison, ahi tuna, turkey, chicken and veggie. Second you would choose if you wanted cheese and what type. Then you picked your toppings. They offered; Onions, mushrooms, lettuce, tomato, jalapeño, avocado, bacon and a fried egg. I remember they also had some sauces you could add. I chose the bison patty with no cheese, and added; lettuce, tomato, onions, jalapeño, bacon and avocado. The burger came with a side, so I ordered tater tots. I also wanted to have a beer to accompany my meal, and when I saw an alcoholic root beer, I knew I wanted to taste it. I have never tried an alcoholic root beer, but I do enjoy root beer, so that’s why I picked it. When I drank the beer, to my surprise it tasted just like a root beer soda. I did not expect it
