I have to confess something...
My name is Amanda Howells & I am an Aquarium Nerd.
I seriously love them! Something about the sea life is so fascinating to me. I could watch them all day (especially w/ a thick piece of glass in between us). Georgia's deep sea tank is the size of a football field- largest in the world. They had this dome room where you could stand on a flat escalator (like in the airports) & you could just look up & admire the sea life while it moves you on through. It was sooo awesome. They had a 3D interactive movie (like Bugs Life at Disney World). We also went through the Titanic exhibit which was pretty cool & very real with actual artifacts & rooms of the different class of sleeping quarters. They also had a cold wet "iceberg" that you could touch & feel & see how frigid the water was. Before you entered they gave you a ticket of an actual passenger who was on the ship & while you go through out the exhibit you were suppose to figure out if you lived or died. I was a 1st class passenger- T was a 2nd. I survived & T died. This aquarium also had a lot of great touch pools. I touched a shark which is a very hard rubbery feel.
Overall an amazing experience thx again Dad & Beth for taking us there it was awesome! I feel so privileged to have been to two of the best aquariums in the world. (Monterey Bay, CA)
I took this pic bc you can see my dad, McKenzie, T, & myself in the reflection.
