Birmingham Alabama and Atlanta Georgia

About a month ago we took a little trip to Birmingham, Alabama to go to the temple there. It is such a beautiful temple, and it was so nice to be able to go again. I always new we had it nice in Boise when the temple was only 5 minutes from our house, but I feel even more grateful for that time now.


We also decided to swing through Atlanta, Georgia on our way home to go to the aquarium. We heard it was amazing and that is was the largest aquarium in the world. And we agree completely! It didn't disapoint at all.

.

The largest aquarium, look at that huge whale shark in the background! Don't worry though, he can't eat anything bigger than the size of a quarter. He is a friendly giant.
There are lots of places to look at the fish from underneath.
Where's the fishy?

Lion Fish...this fish is very poisonous and has no predators. It's population has increased tremendously in the past few years....scary!

Centennial Park is right next to the aquarium, so we stopped to play.


We had to stop and look at one of the cotton fields on our drive home :)

That trip looks like a lot of fun. That museum is awesome! We'll have to take the kids there some time.
