Vacation recap, the first couple of days
The family loaded up the 4Runner on August 1st for a trip to the North Georgia mountains. We made a stop in Atlanta on the way up for a night at the Ritz Carlton and a trip to the Georgia Aquarium.
The girls enjoyed their stay at the hotel, and kept calling it "The Plaza," a reference to their favorite Disney TV show.
Downtown Atlanta was not cool. The panhandlers are pretty aggressive. I even had a clown ask me for my cup of coffee. He followed our group as we walked to the aquarium and bugged me for money so he could get his own coffee.
The aquarium is unbelieveable. Maggie is a huge shark fan. When she saw the whale shark swim through the big tank, her eyes got huge! And then the hammerhead swam by. We took a ton of pictures and thoroughly enjoyed our visit.
