Atlanta

Our long anticipated family vacation finally arrived. It had been 3 years since we lasted visited North Carolina (Reagan was only 7 weeks old) and we were really looking forward to going.

We left early Thursday morning (as in 4:30am) to drive to Atlanta. Overall it wasn't a bad drive. I think stopping every hour for Reagan to go to the bathroom helped break up the drive and make the kids not so antsy in their seats. Also, the abundance of snack food we had kept them both happy, especially Brennan. By 7am both kids had eaten 2 bananas each!

While in Atlanta we walked around the Atlanta Botanical Gardens which were very pretty. Of course Reagan loved the sticks!

On Friday we went to the Georgia Aquarium. I think that Tampa has a nice aquarium, but this by beats it by far. The Georgia Aquarium is the largest aquarium in the world... it even has beluga whales! Being the early birds that we are, we got there about 30 minutes before they opened, so both kids just got to run around until we could go in.

The kids liked touching the stingrays. Reagan was even brave enough to "pet" a few starfish.

Not surprising, Brennan's favorite part of the entire aquarium was going up and down the elevator!
