A Day in Atlanta

We spent today in Atlanta.  We woke up early and went to the Aquarium. I have been several times on field trips, but it was the first time for Jackson, Tim, and my mom. Jackson did not sleep the entire way there, and he really should have!  He was not in the best mood.  It was SO crowded that it was hard to see the animals sometimes!  I think Jackson was anxious with all of the people around.

We did go see the Dolphin Tales show, and he really liked watching that.  Of course, he really only liked when the dolphins jumped out of the water! As we were walking to the penguins, he fell asleep. He usually really likes penguins. We pushed him around asleep and looked at the rest of the exhibits.  Of course, he woke up right when we were getting ready to leave. 

We decided to take him back to the penguin exhibit. Of course the second time we went, the penguins were done with their tricks and were just sitting. You know he was in a bad mood when he didn't even want something from the gift shop!











When we got outside, we let him run. Of course, he was as happy as could be! The Final Four is in Atlanta so there is a lot going on!

We ate lunch at California Pizza Kitchen in Atlantaic Station. Jackson loves pizza, and he even ate an ice cream sundae too!

ESPN Game Day was being filmed there. We walked around there even though it was hard to see. Noni and Jackson went on a train ride too.  It is a really neat shopping area.  I would love to go back and spend the whole day there!

We went to IKEA after that.  Going there was the main reason we wanted to go to Atlanta. I wanted to get a table and chair set for Jackson, and we also needed another shelf for toys.  Jackson was really well-behaved there especially after he took his shoes and socks off!

We got stuck in traffic on the way home and stopped at Wendy's for dinner in Commerce.  Of course Jackson only ate his Frosty.  When we left, he told everyone, "Bye!" as if everyone was sad to see us go!  It was too cute. It was almost impossible to get him to go to bed when we finally got home! Hopefully he will like the aquarium more the next time we go.  I think we will stick to PetSmart for right now!
