Sunday in Atlanta

Today we had lunch at Ratuzzis and visited the Georgia Aquarium. This is known as one of the largest aquariums in the United States. After buying tickets at $24.00 a person we were expecting it to be the best! We were NOT disappointed! This place was amazing! It contains 8 million gallons of aquatic life. If you are ever in Atlanta I highly reccomend this as a place you must visit, especially if you have kids. There were several different areas to the aquarium with all different types of fish, sharks, and 1000's of other sea/water creatures. They even let you touch many of the animals there. Caraline seemed to really like the fish and was in "awe" at many of things she saw. Once again she was such a good girl! She didn't want to be in her stroller though because grown ups stood in front of her and blocked her view, so we had to take turns carrying her around to all the exhibits. I think her favorite was the gianormous play area for kids equipped with a whale slide. My favorite was the sea otter Gracie who swam around sucking her thumb like just like our Caraline. Jason's favorite were the Beluga Whales. On the way out we stopped in the gift shop and purchased a shirt for Caraline that says "Cute enough to be Crabby". I thought that was appropritate for her since she is starting to hit the terrible two stage and is known for having her "crabby" days.
Here is a video of when we first entered the aquarium! Just click on the green play button.





After the aquarium Rick and Cecilia took us to dinner at Papasitos Cantina . We met up with Becky and Christi there and had a fabulous dinner. Jason and I split nachos and I had a delicious desert "tres leches". I just love vacation! Caraline with a dinner napkin on her head at Papasitos
