Day 29 Chattanooga to Atlanta

Wake up early and hit the road to get to Atlanta and the Aquarium. We got there about 9:30 (they opened at 9). Pretty good for being about 2 hours away. The Aquarium was awesome. It was big and had lots of cool stuff. We saw lots of fish, seahorses, turtles, frogs, sharks, rays, lobsters, piranhas, albino alligators, otters, etc. We even got to touch a small ray. When we first got there it wasn't to busy, but it got really busy really quick. We went to a Dolphin show that was pretty good. The show would have been a little bit better without the guy singing, but it was still cool. There is a cool area where you walk through a tunnel type place that the sharks and fish and rays swim next to and over the top of you. That was neat to see. Sora and Nakai loved the show. After the show there were so many people it was hard to walk around. We got a meal that was one of the most expensive meals we have had on this trip, but it was o.k. While eating Sora told us that she wanted to live there, because she would have lots of pets and be able to be them all the time.

After the Aquarium we walked across the street to the Olympic Legacy Park. It was cool to see where it was. It was also kind of fun to remember the Olympics that were here in 1996 (a good year).

Tomorrow we are headed to a place I spent a few months in about 13 years ago. Yep... Charleston South Carolina. We might spend a couple/few days there so I can go surfing, uh, I mean show them a few of the things I did when I lived there. Things like crabbing, Riverdog baseball games, etc. We will probably camp at the place that I used to work at.
