Spring Break, Part 3 (Atlanta: Georgia Aquarium)

On Wednesday, we headed out fairly early for the Georgia Aquarium, apparently the world's largest. We planned on spending a few hours there, and then perhaps going to the Puppetry Museum, or the World of Coca-Cola, or the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library, or to a plantation.

River Otter:


Beluga Whale:


Giant Octopus:

Sea Otter (We'd never realized how much bigger than river otters sea otters are...)




Whale Shark:


Manta Ray:

Jessie and Brennan found these odd things on a playground, but they were a lot of fun.

We ended up spending the rest of the afternoon there, and not going any where else. Then, once we got back to the hotel we met up with Marilyn for dinner:

And that was the end of another busy day.
