Hotlanta

And it was HOT! We crammed a lot of fun into a long weekend with our Nana, Poppy, and Uncle Forrest. We visited the World of Coca Cola, Zoo Atlanta, and the Georgia Aquarium. Our girls were so excited to see the animals that they were telling everyone they saw about it the week before. We took lots of photos.

Atlanta displayed several dolphins created by local artists around the Centennial Park area. We enjoyed seeing all of the interesting interpretations of these statues. Dolphins are one of the girls' favorite animals.

Zoo Atlanta is home to quite a few animals that we cannot find at the zoo in Asheboro and that was our mission...to check out those we couldn't see at home. Our mission was almost accomplished as we observed orangutans, pandas, kangaroos, and a sloth. We weren't able to see the tiger because she was a week shy of giving birth. Needless to say, she was resting when we were there.

I couldn't decide which picture to put up from the aquarium. We got a lot of great shots of some amazing animals. Everyone, including the adults, could have stayed at the aquarium all night. Lucky for us we were able to stay late and got a surprise behind the scenes tour. Highlights included the beluga whales, whale sharks, and dolphins. The little one was excited to touch the sting rays but her arms weren't quite long enough while our big kid was afraid to touch them.  

The World of Coca Cola was best for the big kids in our group but our girls were troopers and endured a bunch of grown up info to get to the end.....the tasting room. There were some interesting flavors from the European drinks! We attended a wedding at the end of our adventure and it was just as much fun as the city adventures. Thank you Spencer and Julianna for getting us to your wonderful city and hosting us at your fantastic wedding!
