aquarium trip

On Christmas morning we opened a huge gift bag and out popped two HUGE stuffed fish, one for Carter and one for Coleman.  Also in the bag was my gift...tickets for a trip to the Georgia Aquarium...with the family!  It was such a wonderful idea and such a surprise and I have been looking forward to it for a month.  Today was the big day, so we loaded up bright & early and headed up I-75.  First of all, bright & early is the time to go...we practically had the place to ourselves in the beginning.  It was GREAT!  The whole tour of the aquarium was GREAT!  This was our second trip, but this time was much better for the boys (Coleman was just 1 1/2 on our last trip and was strapped in the stroller most of the time).  They loved checking everything out.   When we got in the car, Carter said "this is the BEST day EVER!" 

Next we headed to the Varsity for a little birthday lunch.  Dad turned 69 today and uncle silly turns 40 next weekend, so after lunch we celebrated with noise makers and chocolate cake!   Good thing the Varsity is not a "quiet" place.

So Merry Christmas...we enjoyed this awesome gift and Happy Birthday to two very special guys in my life!
