Atlanta Trip - Day 3
This was probably the best day of the trip.
We used up the remaining 2 attractions on our Citypass.
We had a complimentary breakfast at the Sheraton Atlanta Downtown, where we were staying. The kids had orange juice, coffee, and lots of food. Zoey especially liked the raspberries.
In the morning, we drove to Fernbank Museum of Natural History.
I was really surprised by how nice of a museum this was. It's very impressive inside, 3 floors, and Fernbank Forest is behind it.
The kids enjoyed the special exhibition - Food: Our Global Kitchen.
It had smell-based samples of foods such as popcorn and cinnamon, which were activated by pushing a button. Michael held Zoey up so she could smell it, which I thought was a great sibling moment. They're a great team.
We had lunch at Chipotle (we just stumbled across Chipotle when we were heading back to downtown Atlanta from Fernbank Museum), and went to the Georgia Aquarium afterward.
Georgia Aquarium is incredible! Both kids loved it. We went to see the Sea Lion show immediately upon arrival. They seemed to like that. However, they were especially fascinated with the River Scout section, which had a kid-sized tunnel and faux-portholes where the kids could stare through the fish-filled water at parents and vice versa. They really got a lot of mileage out of that.
The dolphin show was also amazing. Unfortunately when I was watching, I was hitting a low-energy point and starting to nod off, but the kids seemed to enjoy it.
The other thing that really captivated the kids was the people mover and glass ceiling tunnel in the Ocean Voyager section. They kept going on the people mover (it was a VERY slow people mover) and riding it to the end and then starting over again.
In the evening, we went to eat dinner at Oriental Pearl. The kids ate very well, which made us happy.
