A Weekend Away

For Memorial Day weekend we decided to take a little trip, so we headed to Atlanta for some fun. We stayed at the Georgian Terrace Hotel, so nice and very convenient to downtown, restaurants, and a MARTA station. While in Atlanta we did all the tourist activities, which included the Georgia Aquarium, the World of Coco-cola, a Braves game, Underground Atlanta, and some really good food at Ray's in the City.

The World of Coco-cola was fun and tasty. Our favorite part of the tour was trying all the different drinks from around the world. We both liked the Green Apple drink from Japan, however Cherry Coke is our favorite hands-down. Coke was having its One Year Anniversary of the new building. Steve Penley was there signing his art work, which is really cool. And there were vendors with jewerly, purses, and art work outside. The weather was nice- hot and sunny so we were able to walked everywhere and take the MARTA which was fun to ride.

The Aquarium is AWESOME! I believe everyone should go and see the fish- the beluga whales are so graceful and beautiful. They were my favorite. The male whale swam in front of the glass and showed off his talent for everyone. As you can see from the pictures Tim got to "touch" a Jellyfish- He's so brave! The otters were cute to watch as they swam and played together. Enjoy our pictures from the Aquarium. I took so many of all the different kinds of fish, sharks, and whales but I only posted a few!
