Knott at the Aquarium

While Michael's college roommates (from Knott Hall) were here, we spent most of the time just hanging out at our house, but we wanted to show them one "Atlanta attraction." Stone Mountain was one of the top considerations, but as the Sky Hike was not yet open, we elected to take them to the aquarium, just like we do for all our guests.


The Graceland crew outside the Georgia Aquarium


The octopus gave us a wonderful show


The penguins were not particularly engaging this time,
but the barking sea lions made up for it.

George and a gravid Zebra Shark

George actually turned around and saw that I was taking a picture and asked if I wanted him to move. In response, I clicked the shutter. "Apparently not..." George said. Hey, I can take pictures of the aquarium any day! Graceland Reunion weekend was my opportunity to see old friends.

George, Stephen, Lisa, Bella, Melissa, Tim, and Kelly


Gabi pointing out a seahorse to George

Gabi seemed attached to George, and it was fun to watch George dote on our daughter. Of course, George wasn't the only one interested in playing with Gabi, and fortunately Gabi was comfortable with all our visitors. (She started out the aquarium visit requesting that Stephen hold her.) Gabi definitely loved all the extra attention!

Annabelle and Lisa

Lisa and Kelly are both teachers, and they definitely have a talent with children. (As a kindergarten teacher, Lisa was especially in tune with our young girls.)


Tim thought the downtown Atlanta picture would look better without George.

Thanks, guys, for coming! We had a blast, and that was one weekend that I was happy not to have any prospective buyers come look at our house.
