Our first stop in Atlanta was three of the most well known HBCU's in the country - Morehouse, Spellman, and Clark Atlanta. We didn't realize how close the campuses were to one another. They were literally across the street from each other. Next stop and the main reason for coming to Atlanta was to visit the world's largest aquarium, the Georgia Aquarium (www.georgiaaquarium.org). We were disappointed to find that the Beluga exhibit was closed for renovations, but we saw a variety of other sea creatures including otters, penguins, sharks, jelly fish, and giant Japanese crabs. And even got the chance to pet shrimp, horseshoe crabs, sea urchins and manta rays. Our time in Atlanta ended with a late night visit to The Varisty - the world's largest drive in restaraunt, for a couple of their famous chillidogs (two of the world's largest in one day!).

Checking out the fish through the 360 degree glass tunnel. Could be dangerous here. I am a sushi lover.
