Atlanta

You would think that will ALL the stuff I have to blog about I wouldn't take forever to post. I apologize. I have been lazy. (QUICK NOTE - I tried twice to upload the rest of the pictures for this post and it isn't working so you will see more pictures when I get it all figured out)

I flew to Atlanta with my dad at the beginning of the month. You can read all about that terrible flight in my last post. Let me just say. My return flight was much better.

We got into Atlanta around 6:30 and went straight to the hotel. It was very pretty. I felt like I stepped into New Orleans!


Mom flew in the new morning and we took off sightseeing. We went into downtown Atlanta and ate and Johnny Rockets. We then walked over to the patriotism museum and looked around the gift shop (not impressed).


Then in was off to the Georgia Aquarium. It is the largest aquarium in the world. And, boy, was it cool. Everything was laid out in a way that made it easy to see everything. (unlike the san diego zoo)

I was sooooooo excited to see the beluga whale. It was just beautiful! I love sea life. Dolphins, sharks, whales, and all the odd looking stuff! I could care less about fish. Fish is fish (except for the shark - those are cool) I wanted to see the stuff you wouldn't find at your local pet store!

I hit the gift shop on the way out (well, you kinda have to - it is the only way out) Smart - I KNOW!

I got a really pretty sea horse necklace and two books for my classroom. Cuz, lets face it, even though I am not in the classroom for two months I am still thinking about it!

After the Aquarium we headed over to see Stone Mountain. I will talk about that in my next post.
