Day Trip To Waco - Dr. Pepper Museum

The summer time routine has gotten to me and I've been really itchin' to get out and do something lately. I recently had heard about the Mayborn Museum in Waco that I wanted to check out. We also have been meaning to get back to Waco to check out the Dr. Pepper Museum we got there too late to check out last time we were in Waco.

Because our day was so full I am going to split our day into two seperate posts for easier reading.

I have to say that our visit to the city of Waco this time was more impressive than the last visit. I didn't realize that it was home of Baylor University. And like U.T.'s campus there are a couple of free educational attractions that should not be missed. I also came across a couple of more attractions in Waco that I didn't know existed.

So we set out early this morning on our way to Waco. I love a road trip no matter where it's headed. I inherited that from my father. He used to love to (and probably still does) drive anywhere just for the pure joy of sightseeing and driving.

Once we got to Waco our first stop was the Dr. Pepper Museum. Aside from the usual displays there was exhibit called Moneyville. Summer spent a good bit of her time utilizing the activities in that section.




A couple of the activities in Moneyville...

Making and designing your own money....



Learning utilize money in different scenarios...





I liked the life philosophy printed on these light fixtures..Do unto others as you would have them do to you... and I also got a pic of part of downtown Waco from inside the museum's 3rd story...




Once we got done touring the museum we walked downstairs to drink a fresh-made old fashioned Dr. Pepper..yummy.




Our next stop was the Mayborn Museum.....
