Trip to Atlanta

This is a 15 foot beluga whale


This is looking up at the head of a whale shark. The head is real boxy and the mouth is 4 feet wide...but the opening of the throat is only the size of a quarter!! How strange! This one was 22 feet long.



Me and my friend Alisa enjoying a Braves game


This past weekend we took a trip to Atlanta. As I approach the third trimester, we figured now would be a good time to sneak in a quick trip to relax and just get away for a while. We arrived around noon on Saturday and checked into our hotel. The hotel was right downtown so it was just a short walk to get to the Georgia Aquarium. This aquarium is fairly new and is the world's largest aquarium!! It was really cool, we saw 22 foot whale sharks, a beluga whale and tons of other sea life. After that my good friend from college, Alisa, and her husband Matt picked us up from our hotel. We went and grabbed some dinner and headed to a night Braves game. We had a great time and the Braves won! The next day, we got up and ate breakfast and headed to an afternoon Braves game. A friend of Jeremy's provided us with some great tickets, right over the Braves dugout behind first base. It was really hot that day, but with a lot of water and some occasional clouds we made it through. The Braves lost that game, but it was exciting to watch. By the time we made it back to the hotel we were exhausted, so we ate dinner at a restaurant in the hotel and relaxed in our room the rest of the night and watched the Olympics! We headed back Monday after breakfast. We had a really nice time and really enjoyed each other's company. We're really trying to enjoy our alone time, because we know in a short while that will come to an end (except of course when one of the grandmas comes and let's us have a getaway!) However, we're excited and looking forward to taking our little baby on some trips in the future!
