Vacation

We went vacationing last week to Apalachicola and Atlanta...

Day 1: Apalachicola - we arrived, found that google maps gave me bad directions (not super bad, got me to the right street, just too far down...it was pretty easy to figure out) to the place we were staying. We stayed in the luxury loft at the House of Tartts, which I recommend, although you do have to lug your bags up a spiral staircase. Ate lunch, walked around downtown. Found an art gallery with nice paintings where a man said that we should go to dead lake and gave us directions. Turns out dead lake was 1 hour away (I was expecting maybe 1/2 hour) and it took us a while to actually find it once we were in the area. It was pretty cool though. Lots of cypress tree stumps. It makes you wonder what happened to them all. Here's one live cypress:



Day 2: St George Island- We went to the beach, where I was very proud of Rob for getting in the water and trying to enjoy it (he's not very fond of the swimming). Then we went across the street to the other side of the island and walked along a little trail and looked out on the side that was marshy.




Day 3: Return to Tally - not very much intersting


Day 4: Drive to Atlanta - again, not very much interesting


Day 5: Chillaxing at Rob's sitster's - not very intersing either


Day 6: Greek cooking class and Georgia Aquarium. In the cooking class we made: 2 different lamb chops, Greek salad, fried zucchini, Tzaziki sauce, cheese pastries, fried doughballs. All very tasty. Apparently our GA Aquarium time overlapped that of the Mitchells and Bennages. We didn't see them, but ran into a group from Northwoods...here's some pics from there



I don't know what this is, but it was pretty cool



This grouper was staring at us


Crazy Japanese crab that can get as big as a car



The Beluga whale was my friend - he's smiling at me

Pretty Jellyfish

Awww...we love each other!
