We took a trip to Atlanta for a few days to go the the Georgia Aquarium. I think it is the biggest or one of the biggest aquariums in the U.S. It was really cool and worth the short drive. If you have kids it is definitely a must see!
We also visited the Atlanta Zoo since we got 1/2 off for being members at the Nashville Zoo. Annie loves the animals and they had more exhibits than the one here so it made it fun! We even saw a baby, like tiny baby, gorilla! SO cute! There were a ton of pics from this trip and it was taking for ever to upload so, here are a few!
Yes, she is still obsessed with goats!
In this picture the zoo keeper was telling her she could climb up there
and sit with the goat. I'm really glad she chose not to do that!
She LOVED the pool! She also did great with her
swimmies and was kicking all over the place!
She was the cannonball queen! In and out, jumping
over and over and over...
We also did a lot, I mean a lot, of eating on this trip!
That's what you do on vacation right? Well, that's what
I'm telling myself anyway!
The brownie sundae was a hit!
We ate a Japanese restaurant, YUM! It was very traditional.
We sat down in the floor and had to leave our shoes outside
the room. Annie thought it was so fun to eat barefoot!
We also ate at the Varsity which is like an
old school drive-in and indoor restaurant.
We had breakfast at this little diner. Annie snacked on some
butter while waiting for her pancakes!
Yes, I said butter, please don't judge me!
These are some beluga whales at the aquarium. They were
so pretty. Like a mix between a dolphin and a whale.
They had 2 giant whale sharks. They were at least 20 ft long, maybe more. We were there at the
perfect time because we were able to see them at feeding time. The workers got in this little raft and the whale sharks followed them around and ate. The whale sharks were twice the length of the raft, scary!!
This
manta ray was beautiful! It was huge too! I was doing flips
and
rolls in the water the entire time. It was so graceful! In this shot he came right up to the glass and it was amazing!
Annie with the whale skeleton!
Eww!
She had a blast!
An albino alligator. These are found in the Mississippi River!
Note to self- stay away from the Miss. River!
Right after leaving the aquarium!
30 seconds later! Literally!!
Asleep in the car but, still has a death grip on the lollipop!
Bikini babe!
This is what vacation is all about!
On the way home we stopped in
Chattanooga and visited Ruby Falls.
We got into an elevator that took us 26 floors(in about 10 seconds) below
ground and took a tour through the cave into the falls. It was really beautiful and even Annie enjoyed it!
Typical Mitch!
