Our trip to Atlanta.

Last week we took Owen on his 1st plane ride to visit Aunt Charlene in Atlanta. He loved the plane. He sat with us and we were lucky to have an empty seat beside us on the way down (it was 6:25 a.m.). He liked looking over the seat at the people behind us. He played trucks and looked at books. When we landed he checked out the planes and made noises (like the planes).













On our 2nd day in Atlanta, we took Owen to the Varsity for lunch, he ate 1 1/2 hot dogs and an onion ring. After eating, we went to the Aquarium and Coke world. Owen loved looking at the fish at the Aquarium, especially the big whale sharks and beluga whales.
























After the Aquarium, we went to Coke World. We started the visit by watching a movie. Then we toured the museum looking at all the Coke memoribilia. Owen enjoyed tasting the different Coke products from around the world. I think it was funny to see his face while drinking some of them. He did find a few fruit ones that he liked. We saw a 4D movie (squirted water and the seats moved) and he clapped and thought it was funny. He did not like the glasses though, so I am sure he thought it was weird to look at.

























On Thursday, we went to Zoo Atlanta and Stone Mountian. Owen was hysterical at the zoo, he was making all kinds of sounds at the animals and would have gotten into the cages with them if he could have. We actually did get to go into a cage with parakeets that Owen loved feeding and sneeking a touch. We rode on the train and Owen continusiouly made the "Choo-choo sound as you can see in this picture below.


















Owen thanking Mommy for the trip to the zoo. He is becomming so affectionate. (He loves to kiss and hug us and when we come home or into a room he comes running saying "MAMA or DADA". )












Stone Mountain Laser show was fantastic. Eventhough the show did not start until 9:30 p.m. Owen stayed up, clapped, danced and cheered to the music. Before the laser show, we walked around and looked at the big mountain.














We had a fantastic trip and hopefully we took enough pictures for Owen to remember it when he is older.
