Swimming with the Fishes

Our family has season passes to the Georgia Aquarium. We were going when my SIL visited and in two visits your passes are payed for so we figured if any one else visits we'll just be kicking ourselves for not buying the pass (hint hint visit us people so we can pat ourselves on the backs for being so smart) so we bought the passes and have made a few visits. It's a very cool place! Usually though we adults don't get to see many fish because we're too busy chasing toddlers who push past everyone to knock on the glass to talk to the "bishes" and then while mom's dodging through the crowd looking for the shortee he splits and runs back down the hall to see the jellyfish again and mom can't find him and ladies think I'm a terrible mom for losing my child (purely hypothetical of course). So Jamie and I got a babysitter and went down to the aquarium by ourselves. They have a live band playing music Friday nights in September so we decided to check it out. There was so much less people and we could stroll leisurely. Don't tell the kids though. They've been begging to go back.

Just the two of us. Able to stop long enough to get a few pics.

For Brighton. Sorry, I hope he can tell what it is.

For Brent (Jamie's a better actor/model than Emma). You may need to enlarge this.

There were otters in the exhibit but no people. What gives?

One of the most fascinating creatures are the jelly fish especially with the ultraviolet lights they have on these guys. This is my kids' favorite.

Crazy cool!

I was sitting in a windowsill looking into the "big tank" with all the large and interesting fish and this guy planted himself right in my view as if to say "look, I'm not the most interesting fish but give me your full attention." It cracked me up. it reminded me of Andrew. Of all the fishes in the sea, you're the only one for me.
