My 8th birthday was November 30! It was over the Thanksgiving weekend this year. I decided to have a trip to Atlanta instead of a birthday party this year! It was a quick trip, but a great adventure! We did so many things! First we went to the Georgia Aquarium! It was very crowded, but it was so awesome!
The Belugas were my favorites! There were three of them, two females and one male. The male was called Miko and he loved to show off for us! It was so neat watching them swim!
Miko is waving at me! Hi Miko!
Another really neat part of the aquarium was this tunnel that went through the Ocean Voyager area. All the creatures were so big and came so close to us! This is the underside of a huge ray! See it's smiley face?
A really big shark! The biggest were the whale sharks which were bigger than Mom's car!
I am riding the people mover through the tunnel! I have a big card to help me identify different fish! It is so amazing to see everything swimming around!
Dad and I check out the tropical fish. When we left the aquarium, we walked across Centennial Olympic Park and played in the water fountains for a little while, then we walked to our hotel which was right next to the park. That evening we went to dinner at Ruth's Chris in our hotel. It was so delicious! The waitress even brought a special birthday dessert for me! Then the next morning we went to the mall and most important, the American Girl Place!!! I was so excited!
Here I am at the American Girl Place in Atlanta! It is the neatest store I have ever been in! Katie is behind me in the chair, getting her hair done, and getting a spa treatment at the salon! She loved it! I got a new doll for my birthday while I was there. I decided to get the historical doll, Molly! She got her ears pierced at the salon, and she was very brave. Everyone at the store said "happy birthday" to me.
We had lunch at the Bistro in the American Girl Place store. Molly ate lunch with us while Katie was in the salon. I ordered the mini hotdog and mini hamburger to share will Molly and it came with this tiny ketchup!
Molly can't decide what to order! The bistro was awesome! They sang "happy birthday" to me and gave me a special sundae! We got some accessories for Molly and everyone had a great time! Afterwards, we shopped for the rest of the day. We went to an awesome bookstore that had two floors and tons of books to choose! I bought 8 books for my 8th birthday! That evening we went to the Melting Pot for dinner.
The Melting Pot was awesome! It was so fun dipping our food in the fondue! We had cheese fondue, then salads, then a broth fondue to cook meat and veggies in, then the best part: Chocolate Fondue! It was quite an experience!
Dad and I played video games in the hotel in the evenings! That was fun!
Katie, Me and Molly get ready for our last day in Atlanta. We checked out of our hotel and then drove around Atlanta a little bit. We saw Dad's law school, Emory. Then checked out Mom and Dad's old house. Then we went to Stone Mountain Park, which Mom and Dad used to go to all the time when they lived there. It was kind of cold and rainy, but we had fun anyway!
We shopped around some, and saw a 4D movie of the Polar Express, we had lunch in an old-fashioned restaurant, and then rode the train around the mountain. It was raining and very cold, but I had a "unicorn horn" lollipop to keep me happy! I never get to have these, so it was worth it! Mom and Dad didn't even really mind me getting sticky!
The last thing we did at Stone Mountain was go in this huge ball playing area where we collected "fruit" (sponge balls) and then got to shoot them out of air guns at people! It was so fun! There were huge slides to go on too. I was a little nervous that I would fall through the net floor on the upper levels, but Mom and Dad went on them too, and I got over it. It was a great birthday weekend! I hope I can go back to Atlanta again soon!
My cousins Michael and Kevin gave me this pogo stick for my birthday! BOING!
