Georgia Aquarium

Dennis had to go to Atlanta for work so Rileigh and I decided to tag along with him and go have some fun! If it was me I could of spend the day shopping in Atlanta...BUT I knew Rileigh wasn't going to go for that so I started looking at things to do with kids. My cousin recommend the Aquarium, Rileigh loved the Chattanooga Aquarium when we went last year so I knew she would LOVE to do that. Another surprise for her was she was going to ride a train for the first time, MARTA! I think she was more excited about that than the aquarium! I must admit I was nervous about riding MARTA by myself, not only because we are in Atlanta but last time I rode a train I missed my stop and had no idea where I was!!!!! When purchasing the ticket I know I asked that woman a million questions about the train and where does it go if I miss my stop...lol! On top of figuring this train thing out once we got off the train we had to walk to the Aquarium (again nervous being just the two of us)! I had Dennis google the directions and email it to my phone ( I so looked like a tourist with my phone out walking around trying to find streets)! It worked out great, when we got on MARTA I found this couple with kids ( I figured they MUST be going to the Aquarium) so I asked and they wasn't BUT was going to the Coke- Cola building which is right next door to the Aquarium....score! We all walked together and got there with no problems! It seems like a pretty safe area down there so I wasn't too nervous walking back by our self's.

HERE IS RILEIGH ON MARTA! AS YOU CAN SEE SHE IS LOVING IT!



THE AQUARIUM:
WOW....it was really nice, very large! I couldn't believe how crowed it was on a TUESDAY! It was hard to spend a lot of time looking cause so many people were there and I felt bad spending lot's of time at each location. They have a lot of the same things as the Chattanooga Aquarium so at least I feel like she's already seen it once! They just put in a new Dolphin show but of course it was extra, and well we all know how CHEAP I am so we didn't go! (Should be included as much as they charge to get in the front door...lol) Next time we will do it! It did look pretty neat. The 3-D movie was Nemo so guess what Rileigh talked me into doing...yep watching the movie! (another thing that should be included in price!! LOL ) Overall, it was a great place and we had an awesome time doing it together! Love making memories with my little girl!

HERE ARE A FEW PIC OF US AT THE AQUARIUM (All taken by camera phone so not the best quality but it works)!!
