Atlanta Trip

Georgia Aquarium
We went to the Aquarium on Wednesday. It was absolutely wonderful!

We got to touch the sting rays, sharks, and Horseshoe crabs :-) The Whale Sharks were huge! They had 4 of them and are the only aquarium with them.

The tank below had real coral and real waves. Beluga Whales are beautiful.




Atlanta Braves vs San Francisco Giants Game
We went to Turner Field for the game on Tuesday night. This makes seven Major League Stadiums I have been to :-) We have drove by this one many times and finally got to see it. It was actually a really nice stadium. Everyone was so nice to us even with our Cardinals gear on!
Zach in front of Hank Aarons statue. They had a museum inside the stadium! Very cool.

Christmas in July Ride

We went to Daytona yesterday for the Christmas in July motorcycle ride. It was for Camp Boggy Creek Seriously Ill Children. The ride raised $8,500. Zach and I followed William, Peyton, and Joyce in the car. It was really fun and it was Zachary's 1st ride. We do not want him on the highway with William, so we just let him do the ride. I now have a good buddy, Peyton! I ended up riding with him on his new Harley :-) Joyce informed me that she has NEVER rode in that seat, the b**ch seat as they call it. She has her own bike. We had a great time, but we did get soaked. The rain just couldn't wait the last 2 miles! Joyce and Peyton won some silent auction stuff and I won a package of biker bear dolls, Zach got a blow up shark from the beer girl :-) There was a live band "Big Engine" and wings and hotdogs. We ran into Dee and Jim after the ride and had dinner with them at Houligan's Restaurant. Great time.

Zach and I in the car...

We met at the gas station we always meet at. Small group of us today :-)
Zach and I followed down the highway, we saw motorcycle cops pass and army trucks. When we got to Ormond Beach, we put Zach on the bike.

This was the starting point and registration.
Hundreds of bikes. I met a couple from Ireland and they stay in their summer home in Florida and then live back in Ireland the rest of the year... Nice.
Getting ready to go and we were off!
I am sorry to say I did not get anymore pics because of the rain and I did not want to ruin my new camera :-( Sorry. Love Ang
