Dr Pepper Museum in Waco Texas

In August my sister Miriam and I took the kids for one last road trip before school was to start.  It was strictly for fun.  Since we began with a road trip we thought it was only right to end the summer with one too right?  I know; I know; I’m so behind in my posts, but I’m trying really hard to get caught up.  Have you noticed?  Dr Pepper Museum Waco Texas(My kiddos have a terrible time looking at the camera when it’s bright outside–poor things!) Our first stop was the Dr Pepper Museum in Waco, Texas.  Now I  have always wanted to go and claim this was on my bucket list for years. (My bucket list is very long!) Later my mom told me that we visited when I was a kid.  Either I have a really bad memory or the museum has changed a lot.  I certainly didn’t remember having been there.

Dr Pepper Museum in Waco TXWe found tickets for the museum on Groupon.  I always love a good deal!

Dr Pepper comercials at museum Waco TXI loved getting to sit down and watch old Dr Pepper commercials and see how they have changed through the years.

Dr Pepper Museum Soda FountainOur favorite part was the soda fountain!  I mean after all we learned about Dr. Pepper it was only right to have one right?  In the shop it is mixed the old fashioned way with the soda water and syrup.

San Antonio bound.
