Georgia Aquarium
By Doug | August 5, 2008
Our last event before school begins was a trip to the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. We listened to Patch the Pirate adventures on the way down—reminded us of our first trip out west many years ago. After spending the night about 15 miles north of the downtown area, we arrived at the aquarium at about 10 am and stayed until 3:30 pm. It was great! I particularly liked the clear acrylic viewing tunnel under the largest tank. Watching the biologists feed the whale sharks was fascinating. They are huge (25 feet long) but only have a throat with a very small diameter. So, they seemingly inhale shrimp and krill given to them from a bucket on the surface.
The aquarium designers did a fine job of laying out the exhibutes to accomodate lots of people. On the other hand, only God could have made such an abundant variety of diverse sea life. The aquarium was simply a picture frame for God’s handiwork. I highly recommend the experience!
