Georgia Aquarium

Saturday, July 27, 2013

After a week of showing friends around the downtown area of Atlanta I had a little time to edit our trip to the Georgia Aquarium and Little Five Points today. I always enjoy going to the aquarium and love the chance to share it with people who have never been before. The nurse sharks, manta rays and beluga whales all seemed to be playful as they circled their tanks. After a few hours of checking out the exhibits, we took a detour over to Little Five Points to grab a bite to eat and check out some of the stores.
