Kids and the big tank

Whale shark

We found the aquarium, no sweat, its on the former olympics grounds. The Coca Cola tour is next door (we passed that up). It's billed as the biggest aquarium in the world. I don't know how they measure it, Sea World in San Diego is bigger, but the indoor tanks are incredible. In various sections and tanks, you can see beluga whales, sea otters, whale sharks, dolphin shows, tropical reefs. The place is especially kid friendly with all kinds of places where tykes can crawl into exhibits to get better views. The size of many of the fish is amazing including manta rays and five whale sharks. The dolphin show is indoors in a setting like a theater stage with glitzy lighting and a corny story line around which the show was shaped. Wasn't my favorite part of the place, though very impressive.

Lion fish (I think)

The next day we headed off to Savannah. Savannah is an old city with lots of history. There are many  beautiful parks, a river walk, and old beautiful southern mansions. in particular, the streets and parks are lined with incredible old oak trees. After touristing about for a bit we headed out for St. Augustine and finally got a look at the Atlantic. The was rainy again but the water was warm. Coast to coast we have put 5800 miles on the car. The price of not taking the direct route.

We will spend two nights in St. Augustine. We have a nice place on the beach at the Hampton Inn. There is a great restaurant across the street.
