Happy Birthday Dr. Pepper - June 2011

An important day of the year came on June 11th ... yes it was Dr. Pepper's birthday! Woot Woot! Dr. Pepper originated in a town called Dublin, Texas ... so what did I, my addicted brother and SIL do?? We drove 3 hours to Dublin to celebrate by drinking as much free DP as we could!

It was HOTHOTHOT that day! Props to the kiddos for hanging in there.. a bribe of face painting helped out. We had a fun day doing carnival activities, drinking DP, touring the original DP factory, eating DP cake, and enjoying live music.

Here's the pictures to prove we were there.


I'm gunna start fillin his bottles with this sweet nectar. Brian HATES this hat ... but that bald head of b's needs to be covered in the sun!


The DP factory ... love the old school crates and bottles!


King suckin back on gammy's cough medicine. Really, this is all Gammy drinks. She gets in trouble for not drinking enough water ... but hey, she prefers diet DP.


Ok.. super cool. The carbonation and the syrup are put in the bottle separately and remain separate until a machine gently picks up the bottle and rotates it up and over 3 times. Then it is mixed and will NEVER separate again.

Every year for the week of Dr. Pepper's birthday, the town's name is officially changed to Dr. Pepper, Texas.


Los primos surviving the heat.
