Atlanta Aquarium

The Atlanta Aquarium in Atlanta, GA is by far one of the most amazing wonders in the world. The day we flew out, Mom, Dad, and I all went for a quick trip to the aquarium. Seriously, I would've loved to have spent hours, and hours in there. They had different themed rooms with exotic fish, Antarctic fish, and anything and everything in between. By far the best part was the room that had a tunnel you could go through with all the water and fish over the top. It was such a crazy feeling knowing that there were thousands of lbs of water above you. Everything was so gorgeous though. I would go back there in a heart beat. If you ever get the chance to go down South, make sure you hit up the Aquarium!

One of the many stingrays that swam above us. These things were huge! They were constantly doing flips all the time. So beautiful to watch.

Dad thoroughly enjoying the tunnel with the whale swimming right over him.

Absolutely gorgeous!

Horrible picture of me but it just shows you how up close and personal we were with the sharks!

This is a replica of a whale that was in the tank. Huge!

I am absolutely terrified of sharks, and yet at the same time I'm so transfixed with them. There's always been this fear of them but for a strange reason I love shark movies, and learning as much as I can, I bought several shark tooth necklaces when we were in Florida. I seriously just can't get enough of them, but at the same time they're one of my biggest fears. Strange right? Exactly.

Eels freak me out but they were one of the best parts also.

This was one of the several albino alligators that they had on display there.

Dad secretly misses his old job, but shhh, don't tell him that.

I don't know how many of you have seen Sphere, but I watched that movie at a very young age. Remember the scene were the jellyfish come and attack that lady and she ends up dying. Ya, that's not exactly child friendly so from then on I've always been a little nervous about jellyfish. And yet they're so beautiful and it was fun to watch how they moved in the water.

Freaky Seahorses.

They had pools were you could touch the sea urchins. Not quite as cool as Canon Beach Oregon though....

Piranhas!

This was another of my favorite attractions there. They had a huge pool filled with the sting rays, and two different kinds of sharks that you could touch. They were all incredibly smooth and soft. It was such a sweet experience! They'd swim right past you and you could dip your hand in and run your hands over their backs. So we got to touch some sharks and sting rays! Sweet!!
