A Day in Peach Paradise?

soo we ACTUALLY spent the WHOLE DAYY in atlanta.

after waking up and totally missing the complementary breakfast by 2 minutes >:[ gahh, mom and me warmed up muffins we had for breakfast. yummy otis smunkmeyer chocolate chocolate chip INCREDIBLEE lol. we spent the first half of the day at the atlanta aquarium which is one of the largest in the world. it was sooo amazingly cool. i took a ton of picss :] they said there are over 10000 species of fish there. including the biggest fish out there, the whale shark that can grow up to be 40 FEET LONG!!! holy cow. but the ones they had there were only around 13-15 feet. they were sooo big and the fish in the tank with them were huge too. i got a pic of this one fish that was bigger than me that came right up to the glass. the crazy thing about the whale shark, is like whales they can only eat things that are like microscopic/really small. we also saww sea otters and sea lions and they were soooo cute! the otters were really playful. and we saw these adorable penguins and me and my mom watched this one crazy one that was playing with a toy. we got to see some beluga whales that were just the sweetest things. they look like they're smiling all the time and just seem so cute

in another part they had a big shallow tank of mana rays and baby sharks that you could stick your hand in and pet XD the rays were all slimey but the sharks were rather rough. my mom grabbed one of the sharks fins. this one ray came up to us and we pet it then all the sudden it like turned around and jerked up which scared me and i splashed my mom and me accidentally. we also got to touch shrimp. there were soo many crazy fish to look at it was awesome.

for lunch we left the aquarium and went to a famous burger place called the varsity. it was HUGEE and its also a drive thru. it can fit 600 cars in the drive thru parts and 800 PEOPLE INSIDE!!! the food was GREAT and although the burgers were small, they filled you up.

after lunch we went to this place called the cyclorama that has the worlds largest painting. the presentation is on a spinning platform that told a story and highlighted spots on the painting. it was all about the civil war. the cool thing was not only was it a painting but it was also a diarama [aka real sculptures of people and land] that like connected into the painting. it was interesting. we also found out at the end that of ALL the people in that painting there was only ONE woman and only ONE african american who was said to be a slave observing the battle.

the rest of the day we didnt do much...kinda hung out at the hotel. for dinner we went to a small diner that turned out to have pretty good food and AMAZING oreo cheesecake.

but before i go i must say we have PLENTLY of irritable times when me and my mom just...roll our eyes and try to ignore it. like driving...its like my grandma vs. our gps [aka chatty cathy, i'll explain later] its crazy. welpp time for me to go now...grandma needs help with something on the computer because shes technologically challenged XP

wish me luck...
