Merry Christmas to us! The new Georgia Aquarium opened in November 2005 and a trip to it was a perfect Christmas present. We received a gift card for the aquarium from our daughter and son-in-law, Melissa and Keith. We saw on the news the throngs of people in long lines at the newest destination in Atlanta, so we waited. Finally, this past weekend we made the trip. Arriving at 9 a.m. on Sunday morning, it was pretty quiet, though it was starting to fill up as we were leaving.
A beautiful place, and well worth the trip! We enjoyed all the animals/fish, and of course Buddy was impressed with the building, the size of it, the design, "can you imagine the foundation to support the weight of all this water!"
The Georgia Aquarium was made possible by a generous donation ($250 million) by the founder of Home Depot, Bernie Marcus.
Thanks to Melissa and Keith for the great present!
