Guess where David and I went over the long holiday weekend? Snorkeling in the Caribbean! Only kidding. Although we did watch the new Pirates of the Caribbean (love me some Johnny Depp). In all reality, we actually went to the Georgia Aquarium which (surprisingly for two Atlanta natives) we had never been to! As you can see from my nine hundred sixteen pictures above, it was incredible.
My favorite parts? The live dolphin show, the colorful fish, the whale shark, the loggerhead turtles (which I could not get a picture of to save my life) and even the scary shark sharks. But for the record, the penguins stole my heart. I'm sure one of them wanted to hop in my purse and come home with me. Can't you just see Tucker and Maggie and Poppie the Penguin all hanging out in my living room?
Humor me. It's a rainy Monday morning after a long holiday weekend....
What fun did you get into over Thanksgiving break?
Pssst! Don't forget that tomorrow kicks off our holiday link party over on Cassie's blog! I'll be sharing my latest Christmas craft here on Ten June and then linking up over on Cassie's blog. Here's the schedule in case you need a little reminder. Can't wait to see your Christmas crafts tomorrow!
I've always loved penguins too and sea otters for some reason. The photo of the jelly fish is really cool!
ReplyDeleteAww - penguins are pretty cute! Sounds like fun! We took the kids to see the Muppets - but I think they liked the popcorn and candy more than the movie. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the shark pictures! I think the penguin would be a fine family fit!
ReplyDeleteOh my word! What gorgeous pictures! xo
ReplyDeleteLOVE aquariaums! Looks like fun! Can't wait for the holiday party tomorrow!! :)
ReplyDeleteOhhh, great pics girl! The last picture with the dogs and little penny (i just named her) is hilarious...happy rainy monday! Whenever it rains, just think of me and how it rains 10x more in Seattle (;
ReplyDeleteWeirdly enough I was in Atlanta too! 5 shots down on your aquarium pics and I instantly recognized where you had been. I loved the deep water viewing areas and actually went through twice. I was in the city Saturday through Thursday on a spur-of-the-moment trip (that may or may not have included an Ikea detour). I hope the city was as nice for you as it was for me!
ReplyDeleteHa ha-- can you believe I've never been to the Aquarium either? All of my kids have been (multiple times) and I, for some reason, haven't gone. Might have to change that. :) Looking forward to the link parties!!
ReplyDeleteAs I was looking through all your pictures I kept thinking "I WISH we had something like that nearby...." then I see it's ATLANTA'S aquarium!! We are about 2.5 hours from there!! I'm thinking we'll have to make a day trip out there sometime in the not do distant future!! :) Love the silhouette (hardest.word.to.spell.ever) of the people taking pictures of the sharks!! Amazing!! It made me so happy!! :)
ReplyDeletei have heard great things about the georgia aquarium! And I agree, the penguin would be a perfect addition to your abode.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! I love the aquarium! I could just sit in that room with the big viewing window for hours.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I didn't know ATL had an Aquarium. Might have to remember that for next time. This coming summer we plan to jot over to the Aquarium in New Orleans. Can't wait!!
ReplyDeleteYour dogs are adorable!!
