Georgia....

I got invited to go to Atlanta Georgia with my hubbies Aunt last week. She was going there for work and needed an assistant, so she invited me. Her and I are buds. I loved Atlanta! I is a very beautiful city all those Southern folk are oh so nice. I love that southern drawl. I have never been called Mam so much in my life. Am I old enough to be a Mam? It was very respectful. Suzanne and I had a few days to go have some fun and see the sights before we had to "officially"work. So we went exploring and saw some pretty cool things and had a good time!

Me and Suzanne in the car. Love her. She is a blast! She reminds me A LOT of my mom actually. From the singing to the long fake nails and red hair of course.
Found the Atlanta Temple. It is one of the smaller ones, but very beautiful!

At the Atlanta Aquarium. It is the largest Aquarium in the world I believe.Touching some sort of hard shelled ray. Kirk would be proud:)
Touching different kinds of shrimp. I ate some of those for dinner that night. Not those exact ones....probably some relative...maybe the Auntie.
I love Turtles. This guy liked me. He would follow me when I would walk back and forth. Fun!!!

The Piranha. Dont let this guy fool you. After I snapped the pic, he flashed me his pearly whites....YIKES. They dont eat humans though I learned. They dont like the taste of our flesh........few!
This is the Spider crab. They were ginormous and the way they walked creeped me out. Just like normal spiders....YUCK!!!!
Loved the Balooga whales. They are huge and so gracefull.
This is the only male. He had the 2 females all to himself and they said, he enjoys it. Funny!

These are Sea dragons. never seen or heard of these before. Very interesting.
This was the glass tunnel that was under the football stadium size aquarium. It was cool. I felt just like in the movies Jaws where the people were walking through one of these and Jaws comes breaking through, except Jaws didnt come breaking through. Yes...I have seen way to many movies
Almost cut off the best part of the Hammerhead.
Sting Ray. He even smiled for me:)
Forgot this guys name, but I bet if he could talk, he would have a very deep, very low southern accent. He was huge!
This was in front of this huge, huge glass window where you could sit and watch everything swim by. This is the Whale Shark. So awesome. These things are huge. This is the only aquarium that has the whale shark and the Balooga(sp?) whales I think. The whale sharks are very gentle creatures.
#1 . This Jellyfish was cool. It had what looked like electrocal currents running through it. Cute little things.
#2...my favorite Jellyfish
#3
Love Seahorses!
Forgot the name, but cool!
This is the Coca Cola Factory. On the plain, Suzanne told me we were going to the Coke factory. I asked her which kind of coke....haha....so funny. I knew which one.
Yum, Yum. Actually, it wasnt that good. Tasted like my finger.....haha!!!
This guy was very stubborn. He wouldnt give me my drink.
At the end they have this room with these stations where you can taste a punch of different coke products from all over the world that you can taste. Some were really good, some where ok, and some where really gross. It you did it like a shot, it wasnt to bad. The gross part was that your feet would stick to the floor.
Some more flavors....
At the end, you got to take a free coke. How nice:) You know what they say.....Always Coca Cola. Oh and FYI...I learned that when they first came out with Coca cola, it actually had real coke in it. Not sure if thats how you spell that kind of coke or not.Yum, Yum!
While looking for plantations, we stopped at the Chattahoochee river. I love saying Chattahoochee.
We went out to look for some cool old plantations to see. This was one we saw and we took a tour of this one. There were actually 3 plantation homes there. This one was what they called a "working plantation" 3 generations owned. It was so beautiful on the inside and out. It had all the original everything from the furniture to the windows to the floor to the slaves quarters....everything. It was so cool to learn how things were done back then. I want to live on a plantation. Now a days, not back then.
Had to get a pic of me actually working. This was at the highschool where the music festival was. We got there on Wednesday and didnt have to work till Saturday and I would call and talk to Kirk and tell him what I did that day and he would ask when we were going to work. We were working actually. Suzannes work told her to go out and get to know her city, and got o all the attractions, so we did. That was hard work, let me tell you.
