This summer Gavin asked if we could visit Atlanta, GA. He found out about the awesome aquarium... I guess Google told him. ;-) We flew to Atlanta and Gavin always does well on flights, but Slade... He was a mess on the way there. Not a screaming mess; just a squirmy/whiny one. We made it though and had a blast while visiting Atlanta!

Beluga whales
Gavin and Slade loved watching the Beluga whales swim.
They get very excited when children get close to the glass. The whales really put on a good show and pulled out all their fancy tricks when all the children moved in for a closer look. Belugas love attention.
Gavin was trying to identify all the marine life in the aquarium; so he could check it off his manual.
Japanese Spider Crab
Stingray and baby sharks - You can touch them if you want.
Sawfish
Look how big that Whale shark is compared to all the rest of the fish... They had 2 of them and they are awesome!
Slade loved the fishies
Guitar fish
Manta Rays
Whale sharks
Cute dolphin painted sculpture at the entrance of the Aquarium. It's wearing a Falcons jersey and the players autographed it. We thought that was cool of them.
World of Coca-Cola
Look at him... he's just gotta know everything! Go Gav
Since Art and I used to live in Atlanta; there were a few restaurants we were dying to get back to because we missed them! Here we are... :-) In the evenings we all hit our hotel pool. Art stayed with Gav in the pool and Slade liked the hot tub; so that's where we hung out. We had a great time! We got a ball from the $ store and all the kiddos at the pool had fun throwing it around! Gav had a great idea suggesting Atlanta for our family vacation. Their aquarium is amazing, but busy... like super packed! If you go; buy your admission tickets in advance and you will have no problems with the 45 minute line for tickets. Good news! On our flight home Slade slept. Yay! :-)
