When we found out that Josh had to take off back to California we immediately knew that we had to DO a few things before he left.
The first one was to go to the Atlanta Aquarium!
So we went last weekend. It was Awesome! our whole family loves animals (especially Jr) and being the biggest aquarium in the world we got to see creatures that we've never seen before, the biggest hit with the kids was the Whale Sharks (they have 4 of them...wow!) and the other one was the Manta rays, (they have 2 of them) We enjoyed every minute of it.
A big THANKS to Grandpa Danny and Pilar!(Since this trip was a Christmas present from them:)
The second thing we HAD to do, was to have an Authentic Southern Meal!...
Some of you may wonder why we had not for the past 8 months?...Well... our plan was to live here for many many years so we thought that we'd have plenty of time to do that. Yes, we have tried some things here and there but not the whole thing...
So...we headed during the week to a well known place in town. And order as it follows; Fried Catfish, Collard greens, Coleslaw(which is sweet),Hush puppies, cheesy grits and sweet tea!
The fish was delicious so were the Hush puppies(I chose not think about the amount of fat we were consuming in ONE meal, so that I could enjoy it!) the rest of it was so so, neither of us is a fan of sweet tea but wanted to have the whole experience so we drank some of it. The only thing that was soooo hard to swallow were the cheesy grits(or as they called them Georgia Ice cream)
I actually though about changing our family rule about never spitting out food when trying it. Needles to say that the grits were send back almost intact.
We had a good time!
And yes...I have to go back for some more catfish and hush puppies!
