Stop #1: Atlanta, GA

Atlanta Georgia was stop number one on our trek across the country to get to Nebraska. We left at 6pm Friday Dec. 4th. The trip was kinda miserable. It rained the entire trip. We had just purchased a luggage carrier for the top of the van and were unsure as to how it would affect the drivability of the van, but it actually did wonderfully! We were also loaded up with 2 dogs and a cat! The van was packed as was the car topper!

We finally got to the hotel around Midnight and were asleep by 1:30 or so. The next morning we woke up and did a little running around before we headed to the Georgia Aquarium. We had purchased tickets for 2pm that day, because originally we were planning on driving to Atlanta Sat. morning instead of Fri. night.

Any who, the Aquarium was actually a bit of a disappointment. Some of their main exhibits were not on display and it only took us about an hour to go through the entire thing. That was too much money for things like the Beluga Whales, Penguins, and Sea Lions to all be off exhibit. Savannah still had a good time, but I guess I feel like we could of gone without. Here are some pics of the Aquarium....

This is the best picture of Shawn and Savannah! Love it!!

Daddy helping Savannah reach in and feel the sting rays.

So, as luck would have it, the Atlanta Children's Museum was within walking distance from the Aquarium so we decided instead of holding up in the hotel with a crazy 3 year old, we would go there and let her run off some energy!

Playing in the Moon Sand table. This is where we spent the majority of our time!

Painting!

Hugging Curious George! She actually got to hug the "real" curious george, but I was unable to get a picture.

Fishing....

and riding the tractor with Daddy!

The museum was worth it. Savannah had a great time! We stayed that night in Atlanta and then headed to Memphis TN the next morning to visit my SIL and her family!
