What a short but sweet time we had at the beach. It was beautiful! With the exception of the seaweed...yucky! We went and met friends, Tiffany and Brinkley. The girls played and played...literally wore themselves out every night! It was a nice break before their school starts Friday...yay! Thanks, Tiffany, for inviting us! We had a great time!

A Day at the Aquarium!

Just look at those faces!!!
Aren't these snakelike creatures the coolest things! I think they're a type of Nematodes. Hmmm??

Mally and Mommy checking out the jellies..... that's what the GA staff call them. They're actually Pacific Sea Nettles.


Baby Jelly!



Aren't they beautiful!? They are my favorite sea creature to come see...amazing! So graceful, too. I could watch them for hours...honest!




Under the sea exhibit.... Cheese!!!!


Girls with daddy


Sweet Mally loved every second at the aquarium...just like mommy.


She's in heaven!



My second fav sea creature...the seahorse. Just precious! I love their tiny little faces and did you know the males carry the babies...so cool!



Just hanging out!


There's Nemo the clown fish!




This lil guy was so unique I had to take his picture! maybe some type of bull fish??



Hide and Seek with the aquarium mascot!





Just taking it all in.



The hammerhead sharks and stingrays. She'd look but not touch.


Playground fun!


Sweet girl


Finally, she got brave enough to touch the glass tank!


Under the freshwater exhibit.


Tree frogs! How cool! Now Claire's happy!




Told ya so!




Not so scary.



Seeing double!



Otter fun!

Funny little guys they are!


Urchins and starfish...gorgeous! The middle part on the sea urchin is actually it's mouth and is very fragile so we couldn't touch these. My third favorite! No fourth actually...




Now, that's a crab! Spider crab that is.






Hey there buddy!




Here's my third favorite...the Beluga whale!







Unreal!


Gotta love the starfish...and these were HUGE!!!



The smiling eel.


Love, love, love.


That's one exhausted child!


Think Mally and I will head back in a couple weeks for sure!


The End.

What a wonderful day at the Georgia Aquarium! This place is UNREAL! There is so much to see and do...not to mention how clean, cool, and safe a place it is to take your kids for an afternoon. The staff are so informative and nice we really had a ball and learned a lot! We practically had the whole place to ourselves, too! Mally and I will definitely head back soon! Think we enjoyed it more than Claire and daddy.... care to join us!?
