Being an ATL tourist

I've lived here for almost a year and I have yet to do any of the "tourist attractions" in the big city of Atlanta...well except visiting the top of the Westin, the Varsity and the Fox Theatre...but other than that I am a newbie to what is here!

Apparently there are so many things that draw people to this beautiful city. There is the World of Coke which looks so cool. It's the World’s largest collection of Coke memorabilia and you can taste over 60 different products. And you can finish your tour off with a trip to the Thrilling 4-D Theater (3D movie with moving seats). Sounds to good to be true, right!

Atlanta is also known for it's Botanical Gardens, Underground, and Children's Museum. All very intriguing but places I haven't been yet. But one of the newest and most popular attractions in Atlanta is the Georgia Aquarium, which I can check of my list because I got to go, YAY!

That's right...last weekend Jen and I took her mom and brother to see the all the greatness of the World's largest aquarium. We saw the Beluga Whales, Sea Otters and some awesome looking jellyfish. Sadly the penguins were on vacation but we plan on going back to visit with them when they return!

Here are some photos from our adventure...

Have you ever seen a leopard stingray?

Looking at the horseshoe crabs...yes we stuck our hands in!

Beautiful colors

The jellyfish were so awesome looking!

We were like children all day:)

Who knew you could have so much fun being a tourist...haha! One tourist attraction down, too many to count to go!
