Thursday Show and Tell (gtg recap)

Better late than never, guys!!

As most of y'all know, tide, sara, and I went to the Georgia Aquarium last weekend. We stood in line for tickets for about an hour and a half in 150 degree heat, so if we look a little frazzled, that's why. I thought I'd sent myself a pic of the crowd, but apparently not-- everyone in Atlanta was there, I think.

Anyway, on to the show portion:

Shark!


More sharks!


Whale shark!


Hammerhead!


More whale shark!


Fishies!


More fishies!


Knottie sharks!! (I'm the one standing in front of the aquarium)


The only thing I'm sad about is that none of my super cute otter pics turned out. But otherwise, it was a lovely day with these two lovely ladies!!

  • Cute picture!

  •  I was starting to think you guys were all sharks.  I wondered how you typed so well with those fins and all :)

    I suppose this means you're also going to claim to have met Fishy (you know, all the pictures of fishies)?  ;)

    You guys look great and I'm jealous.

  • Looks like fun!

    And I, too, like Blaque's new pic, so cute.

  • Sigh.  It took me far too long to figure out who Blaque was and how it related to the GTG.

  • Thanks, dani! I didn't realize he looked so surprised until I uploaded it this morning. Usually he has evil eyes in pictures.
  • Aww!!  I love the Georgia Aquarium!  The last time I was there, they still had three whale sharks.  And the beluga whales are awesome, though I've heard they lost the one that was most personable.  We went the day after Thanksgiving.  Good lord that was packed. 

    Glad you guys had a great time!!
  • I WAS THERE!!! In fin, anyway.

    Our goofy cat, Jack, has started sleeping under the antique buffet we have in our living room as our tv stand/entertainment center.  Cats are weird.

  • Cats are indeed weird. See the green tissue paper pom in the background? Blaque's current obsession is chewing on the wire stems. Not helpful when I'm trying to churn out 50 of the effers.

    We counted four whale sharks when we were there, and yeah, they're down to two belugas. I had a pic of the belugas, but they weren't being as hammy for the camera Saturday as the whale sharks and stingrays.

    We also pet the stingrays. The little sharks wouldn't come close enough for me to touch, but I think maybe tide touched one.

    Oh, and sara had a Margie at lunch, but I didn't think to get a pic at the time (due to us all being near heatstroke).
  • Whatcha making poms for? 

    I think there were 2 females, and this male from an "aquarium" in Mexico.  I put it in quotes because, according to the staff person, he was treated pretty badly, which was a shame, because he stayed at the big glass window and waved at everyone the whole time we were there. 
  • The Atlanta Aquariam is AWESOME! Looks like y'all had a great time! FI and I went a couple of years ago and had so much fun.

  • Yeah, Gasper. So sads.

    I'm making poms as CP's for my sister's baby shower Sat. Each Mason jar will have 4 poms each in "bouquets". It has been much more work than I anticipated, but I just keep talling myself that I'm saving hella money on flowers. I have to fluff 12 tonight and make 12 more and then I'll be done.
  • Georgia, I can't remember, are you married now?  I thought you were but you said FI in another post I think but your Knot profile says you got married in April...and now I'm all confuzzled.

  • I love the green you've chosen for the poms. 

    "You can take your etiquette and shove it!" ~misscarolb
  • Oh, did I say FI somewhere? Yeah, I got married April 09, so I'm about 15 months married at this point. Did I not post the matching shirts H and I wore on our anniversary cruise? They said "One year down, many to go". :) Everyone (on the cruise) loved them.  
  • Thanks, moose! I'm actually doing that green, a lighter green, and bright yellow, and a pale yellow. I know, I'm a glutton for punishment. But labor never occurs to me until too late.
  • Aw that's cute about the shirts!  I don't remember seeing that.  Okay I feel better now, I thought I was crazy.  I was 99% sure you were married but yeah you said FI somewhere.

  • Yay, you guys are so cute!

    That aquarium looks awesome... the aquarium in Denver sucks monkey balls :(  Too far from the ocean I guess- and it's owned by a seafood restaurant.

  • Hmm, kiki something about that doesn't add up.
  • I'm so jealous, I love sharks!  Thanks for sharing, I had never heard of that aquarium.  It's now on my list of places to visit.

  • Oh, bahaha.  I had a feeling it was nerd movie related.  :P

  • Yay, you put up the pics! 

    Last weekend was SO fun!  Sara and Georgia were great sports - we all braved the heat and lines, all the while saying, "Thank goodness our DH's aren't here.  They'd be pissy/whiny/cranky." 

    The aquarium has 2 male and 2 female whale sharks.  They're juveniles still, but they're hoping that they may breed in the future.  I'm not sure what my favorite part of the aquarium was, but I can say with certainty that it was not the gift shop.  I wanted to get Taryn this cute shirt that had a picture of a shark on it saying, "teething bites" but the 6m shirt was the same size (huge) as the 12m shirt.  Boo.
    Holy Crap. We survived the first year!
