My trip to the Georgia Aquarium (Part 1)

Hi, I went to one of the best attractions in Georgia (closely behind the Coca-Cola museum which is right next to it), and since I am Atlanta-City-Official, I thought I'd share it with you! Tons of pictures below.

Firstly, it took forever to get there because of all the highay traffic but it was 100% worth it.

Before we went in, we had to get there first! It was pretty foggy out, which made for the beautiful image of the Bank of America Plaza. You can also see a MARTA bus that left right after I took the picture.

River Scouts section:

The first section I went in was the River Scouts, I believe? Or something with "river" in it. There's a tank of Red Piranhas as soon as you walk in. You wouldn't think that they'd bite your fingers off when they're behind glass, the cuties!

After that, there was a tank with a tunnel section! It was nice getting the POV of a fish, hehe. Forgive me for blurry and pixelated fish, it kept moving around and it was an awkward fit in the tunnel trying to hold my phone and whatnot.

Ah, some proper recognition for the Chattahoochee. You love to see it.

Turtles! They were so calming and slow, and the lily pads on top of the water were so beautiful! The purples popped; this whole tank is definitely my favorite in this area.

At the end, there's a set of 3 tanks. The display screens kept oscillating between the species in all 3 tanks, so I'm only fairly certain that the top 2 images are connected. But have an extra, goofy-looking fish.

Predators of the Deep section:

Let me just say, I love sharks. Sharks are my third favorite animal ever, after octopus and squids.

Wow, look at that! Sharks are smooth in both directions! (/ref)

Ignore the people, they are not important. Look at those beautifully made specimens. The perfect creatures, almost completely unchanged after hundreds of millions of years!

Oh... that's... bad. That's really bad.

Well, they did keep showing sharks after that, and I got a picture of a hammerhead shark and what I think is a white-tipped reef shark. So pretty!

The Touch Pool section?

We had gone up to the second floor now and in a corner next to the top part of the River Scouts section there was a little pool area with some manta rays! But none of them were at the top of the shelf, so I couldn't touch them. ;'(

River Scouts section, topside:

There wasn't a whole lot up here since all the tanks extended down into the previous River Scouts section, but there were some eels and alligators here! Be careful of the white one though, I hear their bites never heal (/ref)

And with that, I have reached the 30 image limit. Come join me in Part 2!

Part Three (final) A selection of 27 Valentine’s cards out of the 54 I made for all my coworkers. The other side reads “From Chris, To (Name), whose prehistoric counterpart is…”  Each animal’s genera name corresponds to the recipient’s name, such as Aardonyx for Aaron or Breviceratops for Brett.

Because We're Siblings

Context; My brother and I play DnD with different campaign groups.  We like to share experiences and stories about our past games as well as current ones.  These are just some of the things we spoke about earlier:

Bro- “Yeah, my character is named ‘Shiny’ because my group’s Paladin gave her a 'Shiny’ object.” Me- “Oh?  That’s simple and to the point.  What about '12’?” Bro- “It’s because I wrote it down on a sheet for initiatives.  DM was reading off everyone’s name, then he came across '12’ and stuck with the character since.”

Me- “My current druid fails hard at growing trees period.  It’s like nature works against her instead of with her.” Bro- “Not as bad as it is whenever my character sees an animal.  She has to hug everything.  She’s a barbarian, can’t even speak Orcish or common, and has to hug everything!  Worse off, whatever she hugs, she kills!  And her bonus personality is 'Keep the Kill’.”

Me- “How do you guys stuff all your character’s dead pets?” Bro- “The Paladin is a Taxidermist.”

Me- “I bet if she hears a voice of a random God, she’d look around as to where it’s coming from.” Bro- “Honestly, she thinks the Paladin is always talking himself up because he’ll speak to himself, then suddenly has crazy ass powers.”

Me- “Past games are always fun.  Like how I tried to wrestle with bear but instead I ended up petting it.” Bro- “I play a mage in a bar, and my party gets into a fight.  I asked the DM 'Hows the alcohol on the top shelf?’ DM replies 'Oh, it’s all good stuff.’ So I told my crew they get one turn to get the hell out of the bar.  Turns pass, my turn again.  I fire bolt the alcohol on the bar shelf.  My party was pissed that I killed them all.” Me- “Sure they weren’t mad at all the destroyed alcohol?” Bro- “No, I killed them because of how much alcohol there was.”
