Atlanta Part 1

Tonight is my last night in Georgia. I've been here since last Tuesday with my Grandma. My grandma, Kim's parents, and I toured the city while my dad and step mom have been at school. My dad is a teacher/coach. His kids have been in school for almost 3 weeks now and they still get out on the 25th of May. Yuck! My step mom is a bookkeeper for a middle school a few miles down the road.

Their house was built in 1890 but was just remodeled a couple of years ago. It's beautiful! I'll include some pictures on my next post. They have lake access and live only 1/2 a mile away from a beach on the lake.

Here are some pictures from Sunday. My dad and I went to the Georgia Aquarium, to The Varsity, and then to the Braves game. We had a blast!! It's been years (probably 10 or 11) since my dad and I have been to a baseball game.

The largest tank in the Aquarium that houses 4 whale sharks. The tank is as long as a football field and the aquarium is the only one outside of Asia to have whale sharks.

Greasy (but excellent) onion rings and Georgia Sweet Tea at the Varsity
