Georgia Aquarium

 The boys and I had been dying to go to the Atlanta Aquarium.  It is the biggest one in the world and we had heard amazing things about it.  We knew that we needed to take Mark here and I tell you what, it was just as wonderful as all the hype. 
 You can't tell, but this ray is MASSIVE.  I was overwhelmed with how huge it was.
 This tunnel through the enormous tank was just incredible.  Every time the huge rays and while sharks came buy we all took a million pictures. 
 I don't know that I got any great pictures of the whale sharks, mostly just the underside of them.  There were a few in the tank and when they swam together, it was completely crazy to see.  I just couldn't believe how large the tank was that three whale sharks could swim together and not even take up that much of it.  I'm tellin' ya, it was gigantic.

 There were a few divers in the tank talking to a lady putting on a program where people could ask them questions.  It was so neat to hear about what they do while they were swimming around in a huge fish tank.

 Spider crabs=creepy
 The Beluga whales were so fun!  They loved to play and would swim like they were going to go right through the glass and then turn at the last minute running their backs along the window.  They did it over and over again.



 The dolphin show was awesome.  Josh and I got to swim with dolphins in Mexico once and it was an experience I will never forget.  They really are such incredible animals.

 I loved how interactive a lot of the aquarium was.  It was fun for the boys to be able to touch some of the creatures living here.


This guy was my very favorite.  There were actually two albino alligators but one was sleeping.  This one just kept swimming back and forth putting on a show.  It was awesome.
