Our Many Blessings: Our Georgia Vacation

Now, for the rest of the story... Our vacation was great. We packed in as much each day as we possibly could.

Day 1: The 11 hour drive to Atlanta (and the theft of course)

Day 2: The Georgia Aquarium-WOW! The kids loved seeing all of the amazing sea animals that they have at this Aquarium. It is the largest Aquarium in the world and just full of neat stuff. Along with all of the animals that you can see, you can also "pet" some of them. Camon touched some stingray, horseshoe crabs, shrimp, and star fish. Isabelle just wanted to touch the water. It was extremely crowded in there and so it took us most of the day to get through it. So, we then went and swam at the Hotel for a while before getting ready and going to Stone Mountain. I was under the impression that this was just a laser show and you should go there at night. Boy was I wrong. I think we could have spent all day there with plenty to do. The laser show was pretty amazing, though.

Day 3: Six Flags. What can I say, this place is fun for children of all ages. This Six Flags had some really cool rides and a water park (which I ended up in the middle of with my clothes on so that Camon could ride a big water slide).

Day 4 : The Zoo Atlanta and travel to Savannah. We spent the morning at the Zoo. There were many unique animals a this zoo. The kids loved it. (Except when Clint acted like the bronze Iguana was alive and scared poor Camon to death). Then we drove another 4 hours to Savannah, checked in the hotel, got supper, and drove to the beach (Camon was determined to see it) at 9 pm. When we finally got there, it was VERY dark and Camon and Isabelle were scared and wanted to get right back in the car.

Day 5 : We attended church services at the Southside Baptist Church and then headed for the beach. This time the kids enjoyed the beach much more. Camon told me that night that this was the best vacation ever. He LOVED the ocean. Isabelle loved digging in the sand. We saw several dolphins swimming not far off of the shore, and a boy fishing right beside us caught a baby shark (that was the end of the water for me!)

Day 6 : Stayed around downtown Savannah. This is one of the prettiest cities to me. I loved it. We walked through the squares, went to river street, road the ferry boat, and indulged on praline samples.

Day 7 : We had lunch at a neat little restraunt on Tybee Island called the Crab Shack. Which was like all of the other dining experiences that we had - high price, little food. Gary and Clint said that dining in Savannah is for the atmosphere and not to get full. Then, it was back to the beach where the kids had a blast, but I fried in the sun and we had to leave early. So, we came back to the hotel and the kids swam and then we walked around downtown again. Our trip was ending, but we had a fun-filled week in Georgia.
