Hotlanta

We took our first trip with both kids this past weekend.  All four of us headed down to Atlanta to visit with some friends.  While there, we attended the Georgia Aquarium which was magnificent.  It had an incredible collection of animals, and not just marine life.  MG enjoyed seeing all the fish and animals, however she did not enjoy having freedom (outside the stroller) then having it ripped away (placed back into the stroller).  Luckily she would eventually bounce back if she had more fish to see.

I also had an opportunity to attend the NHL SuperSkills portion of the NHL All Star Weekend.  Our friends had some connections with Phillips Arena and were able to score some fantastic seats in the lower level.  When that many great players are assembled at one location the entertainment level increases dramatically.  It was quite an experience.  I hope the All Star weekend comes to Raleigh in the near future. 

Things I Learned This Weekend:
-Photography + Night = Bad Pictures
-Glass makes it difficult to focus especially when flashes are prohibited
-Great seats can be offset by all activities taking place on the opposite side of the ice
-Evgeni Malkin's practice moves on the sideline were better than most of fancy shootout attempts
-Bull Sharks are huge
-It pays off to drive at night with two kids in the car.
