Yesterday we celebrated the beginning of the 2nd Trimester (and more importantly - the end of the 1st - yeah!) and Valentine's Day in Atlanta! I finally felt up to doing something on the weekend and luckily it has been a beautiful weekend - sunny and 70!
We started the day early by going to the Georgia Aquarium - if you haven't heard of it - it's HUGE! We had been wanting to go for a while and actually tried to go once before with my parents, but it was July 4th weekend and the line was out of control. This time we were smart and bought our tickets online, but luckily it wasn't too crowded anyway! Here we are outside the Aquarium on what a beautiful day!
We caught one of the scuba divers in the tank feeding the coral, that was pretty neat!
One of the best and funniest parts were the Sea Otters - they knew how to play it up for the audience!
These whale sharks were HUGE! They had three in this tank!
Here's a good shot of the tank that the whale sharks were in - look at how small the people are - that's how big this tank was!
Lex loved picking out all the fish he has caught before. I think his favorite are the Grouper! Here he is wishing he could catch and eat this one!
After the aquarium, we headed to the Mall of Georgia, did a little shopping, went to a movie and then went to Pappadeaux's for dinner! This was a major treat for us, since we can't get that in Greenville. We felt like we were in Texas for the day - Pappadeaux's & we saw the first James Avery we have ever seen in this area. And the best part was that the only charms they had out for colleges - was A&M's!! WHOOP! We loved that!
Overall, we had a great day! We are so happy to be past the 13 week mark and fellin' good! Next weekend Lex is planning to go fishing with some guys in Florida - so we celebrated Valentine's Day a little early as well!

YAY! Love the new post. Can't wait for you to get a belly and show it off on here!
Sounds like you had a wonderful day. Now when Lex brings home fish you will be able to tell him what kind it is. ;0)
Thanks for posting these pictures I enjoy seeing your happy faces.
Love,

Sounds like a fun day!! So glad you're past the 1st trimester ickiness. Enjoy the 2nd trimester before some of that ickiness comes back-plus some. ;)
Ryan wants to know who the "some guys" are that Lex is going fishing with. Hehe.
I was hoping to see some pics of your growing belly. I'm so glad you're feeling better. Looks like y'all had a really fun trip.
I remember crossing into the 2nd tri... what a relief!!! I still predict a girl.... Glad you were able to get out and have fun.
Hey, Poth's, you look like you had a "ton 'o' fun" in Atlanta! I am so glad you felt like doing all these great activities and making memories too! LOVE the aquarium shots in the semi dark...really great! Love, Mom Poth
