Hotlanta!

All I can say is that I never gave much thought to Atlanta, but WOW what a cool city! I think if it wasn't so far from the ocean, I would really consider living there. A little glimpse from day one of the whirlwind tour, with more to come...

We started our first day a couple of hours after landing. I'd heard that the Titanic exhibit was at the Georgia Aquarium and wanted to see that since the Ghosthunters investigated it and decided it was haunted (and I'm a science nerd, so the aquarium appealed to me too).

We saw all kinds of neat things. They have a really awesome setup there with overhead tanks and aquarium tunnels. It makes for some really nice picture taking possibilities, like...

Jellyfish:

Manatees:

Hammerhead sharks:

An iceberg really made out of ice so you can feel how cold the Titanic water was:
A giant manta ray and another shark:

Same shark, more dangerous looking angle:

Gigantic spider crabs (which made me want seafood for dinner):

Whale sharks (big suckers!):

Seadragons:

More to come as I go through the pictures. We did a whole lot of stuff (and perhaps drank a whole lot of stuff too, lol) while we were there!
