Our first stop on the trip was the Georgia Aquarium. We had been to Atlanta before but didn't get to see this aquarium that claims to be the world's largest! I'll admit that the Aquarium was way more for me than for Lara, but I hoped that she would enjoy it at least a little... Well, she liked it far more than I ever could have imagined! She stayed awake through the whole aquarium and only fell asleep once we went back through a couple spots for a second look! I was amazed at how excited she got about the fish and sea creatures. She would laugh and point and dance at all of the different tanks. It was definitely a joy to watch her see so many new things. I am just LOVING this age that she is. What a precious girl we have!

| The Aquarium had several crawl tunnels for the kids with glass bubbles on the other sides of the tanks. I was glad to go with Lara, and Lucas was glad to stay and take cute pictures! |
