On the next day, we went on the CNN Studio tour and visited the World of Coca-Cola before spending 5 hours or more on the road to get back to Cary. Poor Phooi Seng he had to do all of the driving. I managed to keep him company until the last hour because I could no longer keep my eyes open. Sorry Phooi Seng :).
I foresee that this post will be mostly pictures, so please bear with me okay?
CNN Studio Tour
World of Coca Cola
Out and about in Cary and Raleigh
Since the kids did not come with us on the roadtrip to Charlotte and Atlanta, we took them out on Sunday for some fun and leisure - Mini golf, laser tag, go cart and arcade.
After the arcade, they took me to downtown to buy some more souvenirs and for some look-see.
That wraps up Raleigh. Washington DC and Boston are my last two stops. Woohoo!
I foresee that this post will be mostly pictures, so please bear with me okay?
