Family Fun Day

Today Jim took the day off and surprised us with a trip to the Georgia Aquarium. It was a lot of fun. We stopped at Smokey Bones for lunch and then drove all the way to Atlanta. Chloe has lots of books with fish in them so she loved it. She talks a lot now but, it's so funny how she pronouces words a little strange still. When she says fisheys she really says bishee. The Aquarium was a lot of fun but, to be completely honest I didn't think it was as great as everyone says. I thought it would be a lot bigger. I was very surprised that the fish and beluga whales weren't shy or scared to come to the glass. I guess they're used to lots of poeple staring at them.
I also saw a lot of sea creatures I didn't even know existed. Like the spider crab! My favorite was the little sea horses, and sea dragons. Chloe loved going outside to see the sea lions do tricks.
After we left the Aquarium we went across the street to the park. They had a huge park with 3 different playgrounds. One was made just for little ones... Chloe's size. The slides were right at her level. All in all it was a great day. Jim knew he had a very busy work schedule this week, so he took the time off to spend it with us before Chloe and I leave for Texas, next wednesday. We'll be gone for 2 whole weeks. I'm very excited to see my mom, sister and my nieces and nephew. I haven't seen them since November. I'm very thankful they don't live far. They're just a 2 hour plane ride away.
