We went on a trip!!

   I really enjoy traveling, but once you have little ones, it can become a bit more challenging. I will say, it is always worth the effort.... get busy livin'!!  So Atlanta here we come.  We flew out Thursday night after school, and was not shocked to see traffic when we landed at 11 PM. 
   We always hit the ground running on trip, and we got up early to hit the Aquarium at 9 AM. The Atlanta Aquarium was amazing, and we ending up spending most of the day there. They had 4 whale sharks that we were lucky to see them get feed,  in the largest aquarium we have seen. It was so cool, to see the huge mouth take all the water in and expel out of its gills.  Then we checked out the dolphin show. Lauren was such a fan, that Joel took her back to see another show later on in the day. We did end up sitting in the splash zone, which adds to the experience:).  It was such a great time to see the beluga whales playing with a blanket, the otters up close were bigger then I  realized, and the sea lions show.  I would recommend this place to anyone in the area.

   After spending most of the day at the Aquarium, we also had tickets to the Coca Cola Museum.  It was located just across the park, so we walked over and spent about an hour going through and seeing the history of the company. The most fun was the tasting room, where you could  taste the products that they make internationally. I found a few fruity ones that I really liked, and Cooper promised to try every flavor, which I think there were around 150 different kinds.  He did not manage it, and still had a sick stomach.

  So our sick stomachs headed back to the aquarium and went back to see more animals. 

Lauren super excited about the dolphin show (could not take pics during the show)

    We found a good restaurant downtown to eat and then went home to rest up for another exciting day.
