Georgia Aquarium


Our Spring Break adventures started out in Atlanta. Thankfully we missed the tornado and the tornado missed the aquarium. Carter had been talking about seeing the whale sharks for months. All four of us were excited about seeing all the animals but especially the whale sharks.


The four whale sharks were beautiful. It was so neat to watch them up close.


Our budding photographers with their own digital cameras. Thanks Granmere!


The boys, all 3, enjoyed touching the rays and sharks in the petting pools. They also were able to pet horseshoe crabs, starfish, sea anemone, and shrimp. Carter, our marine biologist, knew all the answers to the questions during the pre-show time before the movie.


We all had a wonderful time and highly recommend the Georgia Aquarium. We were amazed that Mr. Whaleshark did not want a whale shark from the gift store. He picked out a stingray and Erek picked out a boat for the tub. The gift store also had a video about the journey of acquiring the 4 whale sharks. It was very interesting and informative.
