One of the enticing pop culture attractions found in the city of Atlanta, Georgia is the World of Coca-Cola. Trevor knew this when he heard that his parents were thinking of taking a family trip there to visit their cousins. He also knew that his girlfriend Cathy would be absolutely in awe of this place and forever grateful, maybe even grateful enough to marry him, if he took her there. The other option was that she would be eternally jealous if she found out he went and she didn’t even know it was there in the first place. He wondered what kind of effect that might have on his potential proposal plans. He decided to go with the sure thing and asked his parents if he could bring Cathy with them on their trip.
Oddly, both his mother and father were immediately receptive and approving of this idea, which couldn’t help but to make Trevor a bit suspicious. However, before he took the chance that they had misunderstood his request or gave them time to change their minds, Trevor quickly called Cathy and told her he had some great news. He asked her to meet him at the local pizza parlor that was right in the middle of their two houses. He started the invitation with the mention of the World of Coca-Cola, which he figured was the best way to draw her interest. And he was right, Cathy took a big sip of her coke and smiled before Trevor continued by inviting her to go with him.
It turns out that the reason his parents thought it would be a good idea for Cathy to go with them is that they wanted to get to know her better. She had been dating their son for over two years and they knew this was serious. In addition, they felt that Trevor would be less likely to get into trouble with his cousin if Cathy was there with him. So they were happy to plan reservations in one of the luxury Atlanta hotels to split between the genders. The trip worked out well for everyone and both Cathy and Trevor had a great time touring the Coke museum and they bought each other t-shirts to commemorate the event. Only time will tell if Cathy will be grateful enough to marry Trevor, but the way things look now gratitude won’t be necessary.
