We wanted to visit places that were near the boat and the Atlanta aquarium had been on our list for a while. It seemed like a good time in this lull before the holidays so off we went.
For some reason the Japanese Spider Crabs really creep me out. First of all they are huge. The body can be bigger than a basketball, and the leg span 12 feet across. The crab in the picture below is tapping the glass. You can just see them looking at the people walking by and thinking - I would totally eat that. Why that is somehow worse than a shark doing the same thing I don't know.
We went to the dolphin and sea lion shows, but the main tank is the star. It is simply amazing, big enough for a few whale sharks and hundreds of other fish and such. A great place to hang out for a few hours.
W went to dinner at a BBQ place called Fox Brothers. We shared an everything plate which had sausage, pulled pork, brisket and ribs. The BBQ was good to great, but the best was the Frito Pie, a concoction of onions, melted shredded cheese and brisket chili all mixed up in and served in the Fritos bag. Heart attack on a stick (or rather in a bag).
