Whale Sharks!

I was so happy to be able to fulfill one of my dreams of seeng a whale shark up close. I honestly never thought I would be able to see one. I think I could have spent all weekend there watching them swim at the Georgia Aquarium.

Finally back in Maine....I realize the blog is a little random with all of the pictures that I posted in real time as I ventured around Atlanta. I got something that was on my list of 30 things before 30 done so will need to update that, most likely tomorrow. Time for some sleep after getting all unpacked and getting my Flickr account updated. I did have a lot of fun although I think I could have spent the whole weekend at the Aquarium. :)

Waiting at the gate to leave.
