Atlanta Day 2

We started with a great breakfast at the hotel & our server Katie was the best. She made the whole stay worth while.

Our tour at CNN was great. The tour consists of seeing the studios "LIVE", get to see how they do the weather maps (green screen), have a picture taken at a CNN anchor desk, and then end up in the Turner Store. Even though we were just in the store yesterday, we left our mark once again. We did get to see some of the anchors, unfortunately not the ones we wanted. Highly recommend this tour if you like to watch CNN.

Next it was off to the aquarium to check out the sharks, manta ray, whales, sea horses, sea otters, jelly fish, piranha, and something we didn't expect to see. We saw great displays in tanks and aquariums. Some just took your breath away. The one thing we didn't expect was the Titanic Artifact Display is set up at the aquarium. If you have any interest in the Titanic - GO SEE THIS!! It was very interesting to walk through and see the actual artifacts from the wreckage. It was very moving to read some of the stories and then at the end see the wall of survivors vs. non-survivors. This is a once in a life-time opportunity and well worth it.

We are now at Tiff & Jarrod's just lounging and hanging out. Tomorrow we decided will be a "relax" day, unless we get bored. Miss everyone at home, but loving the R&R!! Check back for pictures.
