All through with tourist duties for now. Nice trip to see the home of our 39th President. The National Park Service has done a nice job of restoring the boyhood farm and the old Plains High School. The POW Museum is worth a visit if you are in the area as well.
Well, promised a picture from the Georgia Aquarium and a review and this is the first chance I have had to do it.
The aquarium is all it is cracked up to be. It was crowded but everything moved along well and I didn't feel the visit was marred by the crowds. Some of the smaller exihibits required a short wait until you could get next to the glass but all of the larger exhibits have plenty of room and are large enough to see even if you are a good distance away. The arctic exhibit with the whales, penguins and sea lions was my favorite as I have a thing for whales but for sheer impressiveness the giant tank of the ocean voyager exhibit is hard to resist. Every exhibit has something to offer. There are several places where you can touch creatures such as rays, dogfish, shrimp and urchins which is great for the kids.
If you are planning a trip to Atlanta the Georgia Aquarium is a must do.
