8 Days Until Christmas!

Today Marshall and I decided to make a new tradition, by partaking in a very old tradition in Atlanta. We planned to go to the Georgia Aquarium, stop by CNN Center, and then head over to Lenox Square to see Priscilla the Pink Pig.

The original Priscilla the Pink Pig

According the Macy's website, Priscilla has been an Atlanta institution since 1953! The Pink Pig is train ride through a lifesize storybook. Marshall actually remembers riding the Pink Pig when it was at its orginal home at Rich's department store in downtown Atlanta. Unfortunately, we did not make it to Macy's today. :(  However, Priscilla will be running through January 4th, so I will get back there to ride her, and make an Atlanta tradition a Williams family tradition.

We did make it to the Aquarium, and it was decorated for the season. There are also two new additions to the aquarium family: Qinu and Grayson, beluga whales. Here are some pictures from our excursion:

While visiting the Georgia Aquarium has not been a tradition, in the past, Marshall and I love aquariums, and have been to several. Maybe it can become a Christmas tradition of our very own.
