GEORGIA AQUARIUM IN ATLANTA

Georgia Aquarium is the world's largest aquarium, housing 120,000 animals,  in 8.5 million gallons of marine and fresh water. If you visit Atlanta, this is a must visit place. The aquarium is divided into various sections - Cold Water Quest, Georgia Explorer, Ocean Voyager, River Scout, Tropical Dive, 4 D Theater, Frogs, a chorus of Colors and Dolphin Tales where you can enjoy watching these beautiful animals. We made sure we visited all of them. 

Dolphin Tales is an enchanting show you shouldn't miss, where actors in beautiful costumes perform with dolphins backed up by special effects and an interesting tale of good against evil. The dolphins and their trainers give an exhilarating performance. Unfortunately photography is strictly not allowed at the 'Dolphin Tales' show. So, I don't have any pictures of the Dolphin Tales. 

They have a beautiful gift shop at the Aquarium. The Cafe Aquaria is a place where you can find a variety of food and dessert. Their food is delicious. Their salad bar is great with so much to choose from. And that's what I had, a lot of salad and a greek chicken wrap. 

Here are some photos of our visit to the Aquarium. I had taken plenty more, but can't seem to find the rest. I might have deleted them while trying to create space in my memory card.

MOVIE GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD

Did you see this movie? What did you think of it? I sat through it because I have always been a  Bruce Willis fan. If you want to give your faculty of intelligence some rest and just watch the movie because you have nothing better to do, or you are a Bruce Willis fan, or you love to see total chaos, massive car destruction, endless road chase, and you don't mind a weak boring  plot,  then go ahead. If I should share a secret, the real truth is I chose to watch it along with my husband who was desperately in a mood for watching an action film......When I asked him if he enjoyed it ( I wanted to tease him as  I already knew what he felt), he replied in the negative and I rather not post what the negative was that had me laughing. 

KROHN CONSERVATORY - GIFT SHOP

If you pay a visit to the Krohn Conservatory, you shouldn't leave the place, without visiting their Gift Shop at the exit. They have lovely gift items you would want to take home or gift someone special. Here are some photos I took at the gift shop.

KROHN CONSERVATORY - BUTTERFLIES OF MOROCCO

We visited the Krohn Conservatory in Cincinnati, Ohio, to see the international butterfly show called, 'Butterflies of Morocco". Before we entered the conservatory, we passed by a small greenhouse, with a variety of plants. At the entrance to the conservatory, was a wheel cart with spices of Morocco. We then had to enter an enclosure where there were arts, crafts and textiles from Morocco. We had an amazing experience as we entered the conservatory where the exotic butterflies from Morocco were flying all around, some would be found sitting on the flowers unperturbed by the people around. The conservatory had beautiful flowers, plants and trees. The sound from the water falling from the fountain was so soothing and peaceful. Some of the butterflies would even come and sit on people. Can you imagine how delightful that was!!!. There were benches where people could sit and just enjoy watching the butterflies and the lush greenery. What fascinated me most was the cerulean blue butterflies that were bigger than the others. I don't know it's biological name, but those blue ones flew between people causing a lot of excitement especially amid children. It moved way to quickly for anyone to take a picture. I wasn't too happy with my photos of this magical butterfly. However, I did manage to capture with some blurring! Well, it does not end there. I have a pleasant surprise for you in my later post....

In the meantime, here are some photos from the show "Butterflies of Morocco". 

The show is on until June 30, 2013. If any of you readers happen to be in Cincinnati, do attend this beautiful show.
