11. Visit the aquarium


We spent the afternoon at the Georgia Aquarium
What an amazing sight, especially seeing the whale sharks in person! What huge creatures, yet so graceful. It was a beautiful fall day and the crowds were not too large. I could have sat for hours at the viewing hall watching all the fish move in a ballet of fluid movement. How peaceful it was.

I also loved seeing the jellyfish. Such beautiful, glowing, orange, strange creatures that are absolutely fascinating, looking like parachutes rising and falling against a blue glass background.

It was the perfect time to visit. I even brought home a souvenir paperweight with a beautiful blue glass jellyfish encased in clear glass to remind me daily of the liquid day.
