Georgia Aquarium

Today's outing was to the Georgia Aquarium. We arrived at 10 am, and there was already a line to get in. We eventually made it through the line, and we enjoyed the fishy sites for about 3 hours.

When we left, we noticed that the line to get in was very, very long. It had been getting crowded inside and we figured out why: lots of people were coming in, but very few were leaving! But, it was Saturday and we expected it would be busy.

Here are a few photos. Colorful fish:


Really big fish:


Waxy Monkey Frogs:


Is it disturbing that we left and went to Legal Seafood for lunch??

Welcome!

Installment #5
The Living Room

Here is our seating area:


The entertainment area:


And the doors by our chair! The weather has been so nice that we often open one of these doors. Cool air, and even though there are no screens, there are NO BUGS! So far, at least!


Apartment, sweet apartment!

The Dining Room


The column is just to the left of our front door, so this is the left side view when you walk in the apartment.

We were anxiously awaiting the dining room chairs. They were the last things we received. But now they are here, and we love them. Much more comfortable than the folding chairs were!

We use the table for a desk more than for eating! But, back to the chairs:

The front of the chairs have a velvet-like feel with a peacock-colored pattern over a brown background. The backs are a creamy yellow color with an embroidered design pattern. I couldn't get the pattern to show up well on the photos. Guess you'll have to come see it in person!


We are using this console as a catch-all bookcase copy machine table. I haven't put any books in yet, but we do have some to put away. And there is Ruby -- patiently awaiting her next vacuuming assignment.

When you come in our door and look straight ahead, here is what you see:

I thought Atlanta would be a good time to get more serious about learning to play the keyboard. I haven't done it yet, though.

Next up, the Living Room.

Here's the bathroom:


Notice the granite countertop!


There's a nice, roomy shower.


And a closet plenty big enough for our bathroom things.

Welcome to Our Apartment!

Installment #1: The Bedroom

Here is the bedroom in one quick glance. Don't blink or you'll miss it!


That's it. A bed, two night stands, a dresser, a TV, two windows and a photo of the grands.

Here is another shot of the bed portion of the room:


Now the dresser. BTW, the TV is not very big -- the dresser is very small!


The grands!


And finally, the closet. That's all of the clothes we brought, except for our coats. And it looks like I got a little compulsive with color coding in there! :)
