Surprise Girl Trip

I'm having issues moving pictures around on Blogger today, so these pictures are backwards in order. The week of Christmas, my mom and I decided to surprise the girls with a trip to Atlanta to see this show called Cavalia. In short, it's a mix between Cirque du Soleil and a horse show. So, it was only fitting that we take MM to see this incredible show. It was only going to be in Atlanta from the end of November until January 3, so we loaded up and went for an overnight girl trip to Atlanta. The show was absolutely amazing and if you are ever able to see it (I think it's in Miami right now), it is worth the money if you love horses like we do. Check out the website to see what it's about (http://www.cavalia.net/)! The show was at 8:00 pm EST so we drove over, checked into our hotel, and then went to Atlantic Station to eat dinner, walk around and then on to the show. By the way, if you haven't been to Atlantic Station, it is a MUST SEE area! Great shopping and food! The next morning, we made a last minute decision to take the girls to the Georgia Aquarium. We figured, why not? We are already in Atlanta, have nothing else to do, and are only blocks away from it! These pictures, while not great quality, are of the Shark Tank that has 3 of the largest species of sharks in it, the whale shark (which you can see above MM's head in the 2nd picture). Just to give you an idea of the size, the walls of the tank were made of 2 feet thick plexiglass in order to hold the pressure of the water! Wow! It was an incredible trip with my mom and my girls and something that I hope can become a tradition for many years to come!!! We love you Gran and thanks for helping to make the trip AWESOME (as MM said)!
