Georgia Aquarium

After a visit in February (more on that to come), we went back up to Atlanta for a long weekend to celebrate Carter and Kelly's birthdays. On Friday we decided to take the boys to the aquarium for something different to do.

We headed down right at Nathan's nap time so I was hoping he would snooze in the car but he ended up not falling asleep until we got to the parking garage so after only a fifteen minute nap, I was a bit worried that he would be a crank pot all day. He was great, though, and seemed to love looking at all the fish and other kids.

Kelly, Lincoln and Carter met my Mom, Alex, and our little family down there. We all took turns passing the boys back and forth and showing them the sights. It was so fun watching both boys' eyes light up as different fish and sea creatures swam by in the tanks. Carter is talking so much more now so he pointed all sorts of things out. Nathan just stared, wide-eyed, sometimes at things as simple as the emergency exit signs. I forget sometimes how new this world still is to him!  

We had a bite to eat in the cafeteria in between exhibits and were off again to see the penguins and whale sharks. We didn't even make it through the Georgia section where you can actually "pet" things before our time had run short and the boys' lost steam. Nap time! This time N fell asleep before we even left the garage. It had been a long but very fun day!
