Trip to the Aquarium

For Carter & Callen's birthdays, my brother and sister-in-law gave them tickets to the Geor.gia Aquar.ium. So, when we were in Atlanta for the wedding last weekend, we started out the wedding day with trip to the Aquarium.

Our plan was to be there when it opened, which turned out to be a great plan! We took an early morning stroll from our hotel, through Cen.tennial Park to get to the aquarium.
The aquarium was really neat, but Carter's favorite part was the "under the sea" section where the sharks and whale sharks are. It was probably my favorite part, also.

A grouper...didn't know they could get that big!!!
Whale shark with lots of smaller fish swimming along side
The be.luga whales were pretty neat, also, but Carter wasn't nearly as interested in them as he was in the otters that were just around the corner. I guess the otters were much more entertaining.
Carter and Dad watching the bel.ugas...I love this picture.
We spent about an hour and half there before heading to the wedding day brunch. It was a great trip! The only thing Carter didn't care for, interestingly enough, was the penguin exhibit. He was NOT. AT. ALL into the tunnel that you could crawl through and pop up in to see the penguins. In fact, he cried when Nick and I crawled through! Other than that, he really loved seeing all the animals. What a treat during such a special weekend!

Thanks Uncle Steve & Aunt Emily!

So much fun. We had planned to go to the Aquarium when we were in Atlanta in May, but we ended up not making it. Thanks for sharing the pictures!
