Atlanta Trip day 1

Nick had to go down to Atlanta Feb 16-21 for residency for school, so me and the kids decided to go down on friday the 18th and have some fun and see Atlanta. I picked up Emma early from school and headed down and got down to Atlanta in about 5 hours with traffic and its a huge city, glad we had the gps or I would have been lost for sure, there is sooo much to do and see. We had some dinner with Nick at the Hilton hotel, I worked out in the fitness center and then we went swimmin. The next day, Feb 19th we went to the Georgia Aquarium, worlds largest tank. Poor little Emma was in some pain, she had a big mouth soar on her cheek, so she isn't smiling in the pictures, lots of pain, but she still had fun.
We saw just about every kind of fish: salt water, fresh water and other animals that inhabit them: fish, sharks, octopus, gaters, otters, star fish, sea horse, sting rays, whale shark, paranas, and so on. Rick loved the sharks, and Emma loved petting the sting rays. We also saw a fun 4D movie, the shark exhibit, and hangin out at the kids play zone.

Then after the aquarium, we crossed the street over to Olympic park, home of the 1996 summer olympics, we walked around the square.

This is a statue of the founder of the olympics, Baron Couberin, and his motto below.

After a long day at the Aquarium and sight seeing, kids were tired, but not too tired to go swimming again at the hotel, Emma got new necklace, a dolphin book, and a fish key chain, and rick got a shark squirter which he just loved playing with.

Here is video taken at the largest tank, you can just see how big it is and the kids loved it!
