Tim's birthday in Atlanta

Tim's birthday is on "Sylvestr" (as the Czechs say) a.k.a. New Year's Eve. Not the best day for birthday a but Laura made sure it was one to remember. We went to Atlanta for a couple days. Here are the highlights:

In the mid morning we took a Segway tour of Atlanta





During the tour we ran into the chic fil-a bowl parade. This cow was riding a segway so we posed with him.





Laura posing with Jimmy Carter



It was freezing in Atlanta so a nice hot plate of shrimp and grits tasted really good after the segway tour



Onto the 4 year old Georgia Marine Aquarium. It's the largest Aquarium in the world.

First, the little tanks



The beautiful but environmentally disastrous clown fish



They have a ray "petting zoo"





Here's a video of the big tank that is almost the size of a football field:

Oooh, did the Georgia Aquarium have any Cuttle Fish? If you have seen them, they are the most interesting creature to me.
