Day 3


We slept until we woke up naturally, ah, it felt great! Amy (who is 6 months pregnant) made us a home cooked breakfast, and it was so nice to see Elena and Amy reunited after a year of them not seeing each other! Since Amy couldn't walk around too much, she stayed home while Elena and I went to the Georgia Aquarium. When we parked at this $5 parking lot, we accidentally hit a huge blue dumpster next to the parking spot. It scratched a blue line into the front of our car. We thought the lot owner would be mad, but he ran out to us with polish for our car and fixed the scratch for us! Now that's when we knew we were not in the north anymore! The aquarium was fun, and we were able to 'pet' a few of the animals (can you call things in water animals?) They had this tube-like area that you can walk through and there is water and fish all around you, it was pretty cool. Afterwards, we walked around the park right outside of the aquarium and got one of the best iced caramel macchiato's ever. We then went home and met up with Amy and Scott, and went out to a restaurant called Ray's. It's on a lake, and the sun's reflection off the water was beautiful. Our server was very diligent and detailed in explaining everything, including how they catch the fish and where they're stored and how they're cleaned ... he also gave us a lot of wine advice that went over my head, but he suggested that we try a wine called conundrum, which really was quite tasty. After dinner we watched Blades of Glory and went to bed. A wonderful day of no driving and it was so nice to see Amy and meet Scott. They're going to make great parents!
