Atlanta Georgia

There is a Coke bottle in that tower, but it didnt show up good in the picture. This is the World of Coca Cola
This is the CNN headquarters

Olympic Park was really nice


The Georgia Aquarium looks kind of like a ship docked in downtown Atlanta



This Manta Ray doesn't look like much here, but consider its wing span was over 10 feet long.




Christa wanted to know if she could choose this Lobster for lunch!





Cleaning the tank!






We arrived at Jellystone Park Campground mid afternoon on Saturday August 1 and got to set up camp in the rain. We went to Walmart for groceries then cooked dinner and chilled the rest of the evening. It rained almost all night, but was clear in the morning for us to travel into downtown Atlanta to the Georgia Aquarium. It was so neat, Greerson really enjoyed the Whale Sharks and the Beluga Whales. They were cleaning one of the tanks when we got there it was cool seeing the diver above us. We got to go behind the scenes and see the whale sharks from above before we went down below and saw them with the general public. We toured CNN after lunch and got to see the actual newsroom while they were airing a broadcast, then it was on to the World of Waiting . . . . I mean the World of Coca-Cola. We waited to be searched by security, then waited to wait for the waiting room for the film, then waited to be admited to the exhibits. It was interesting, but after all of that waiting we were a little grumpy. There were a lot of people there. Greerson particularly like the tasting room! We all watched them bottling Coke and we got a bottle off of the production line when we left. It decided to pour rain on us as we walked back to the parking garage. We were pretty muched soaked! We dried off a little and headed to the Varsity drive in and had great food! It is apparently the largest drive in around. I would agree it could serve almost 100 cars it looked like, besides the sit down service inside. They actually came to your car and took your order then came back with it. The only complaint was that the menu was difficult to read from inside the car.
