Tuesday the weather man called for a 60% chance of rain and this seemed like the ideal day to spend at the Georgia Aquarium. Since the day before had been longer than planned, we all slept in. Our appointment at the aquarium was at 11:00 am so we had plenty of time to arrive and park.

As you turn onto Baker street where the aquarium is located, you see the vastness of the building. The front of the building is covered in reflective glass and sparkles even though the sky is overcast with massive black clouds. I was like a little kid with my face plastered to the window oohing and aahhing. I kept pointing things out to the boys who were in the back seat.

Of course I had snaked a deal for our admission. I had found a combo online for Six Flags and the Georgia Aquarium that allowed us to get in the aquarium for free! With 5 people that is a savings of $125 (stop laughing Carolyn).

As we walked into the main part of the aquarium it was breathtaking with huge curved screens everywhere with images projected on them. Of we went to explore what was there. I have never seen some of God’s creation that I took in yesterday. The beluga whales were one of my favorites. They were so beautiful and graceful in the water. I found myself just staring at them not realizing I was blocking the view of all these other children waiting to see. I was definitely acting like a child yesterday.

Of course we were all waiting for the whale sharks, but I thought it would be best if we saw them last. I am sure glad we did. We stepped onto the people mover and off we went through the glass tunnel with God’s amazing creation above us. When I first spotted a whale shark, Noah was standing beside me and we both saw it at the same time. We were both so excited. After the tunnel, we went to the viewing theater. I didn’t want to leave I sat and thought about God’s beautiful creation. Seeing the whale sharks and the different kinds of fish was very soothing.

It is time for me to get ready for Six Flags. I will tell you about the IKEA experience later.
