GA Aquarium

Do you think we were excited to go to the aquarium???
Yep, we rode MARTA to downtown Atlanta and toured the HUGE aquarium on the Saturday after the NCF conference.  
I didn't take my camera since we were traveling light, but Justin's phone captured our fun time.  We went at a great time from 2:30-6pm.  By the late afternoon the crowds had really slimmed down.  Plus we were able to catch a live dolphin show for free, which was pretty neat!

 There were some awesome sights!  Whale Sharks, Beluga whales, tons and tons of tropical fish, otters, HUGE groupers, frogs and on and on I could go...
We loved riding through the tunnel of fish!

 This 2 story wall of glass (which was over 2 feet thick) was A mazing! I think we could have stayed and watched everything swim for a few hours.  
In this tank there were 6.3 million gallons of water!  It was as large as a football field without the endzones.  Incredible!


 There were pools where the kids could try to touch a ray or crab etc...we never quite touched one.
 Do you see Katie behind me?  She was SOOOO intent on waiting for the show to begin. She sat still like that for the whole 25 minutes before it began.  She loved everything about the performance!

 What a fun family outing!
