"Morning Daddy", Annalee said giving her dad a hug and I hugged Mark.

"What time did you guys get up?", I asked.

"Around 6", Wade said.

"Why so early?", I asked going over and putting a bagel in to the hotel toaster.

"Because Bob snores to loud..", Wade mumbled.

"Correction, you snore my dear friend", Bob said taking a sip if coffee.
Wade stuck out his tongue.

"So what do you guys want to do today?", Mark asked smiling at me.

"I have no idea", I said smiling. "Actually I have a long list of things we need to do",.

"Great what do you plan on?", Jack said

"Well the aquarium is open", I said. "My dad use to work there and it's amazing",.

"Okay then all of are plans are packed", Mark said. "Let's get going",.

"Okay", The guys said as the rest finished up there breakfast and threw there scraps away.

"So what did your dad do?", Annalee asked as we walked out of the hotel.

"He was a animal trainer", I said.

"Awesome", Annalee said.

"Do you guys want to drive there?", I asked.

"Why?", Yami asked.

"I don't know follow me", I said beginning to walk down the side walk.

It was so nice to still be in Atlanta but you know Atlanta is one of those places where you have flash backs of people or your parents be fore they were dead and all the good times you had with them. To be honest I would have rather been in LA hanging out at the house. We walked  about 2 blocks cutting through a park to the entrance to the aquarium.

"This looks amazing", Jack said.

"I know", Wade said. "My mind is blown",.

We got tickets and got in to the aquarium and began the amazing journey through the 6 sections of the aquarium. Annalee and I were mesmerized by the giant manta rays. They were so pretty.

Jack went crazy over the big sharks that were in the large tank.

"There fricken giants", Jack yelled.

"I know isn't it amazing", I said. I was so glad that they were enjoying it because I know I was. Then Mark came up with some stupid prank.

He walked up to a lady and poked at ladys butt with his shoe then said oh I touched the butt. I sighed and shook my head.

I got a blue squid hat and a mantray stuffed animal. Jack got a otter stuffed animal. Wade got a sea horse pillow and Bob got some collectible coins. Mark got a shark pillow in the shape of a sharks body. We spent a few long hours there some times going to a exhibit twice. Then we walked back to the hotel and ordered sushi and watched the old, old, episodes of the tv show, The Office, on Netflix.

"Let's just go home tomorrow", Mark said.

"Yea", I said.

"I miss my soft bed", Mark said slapping on to the bed as I laid down next to him and listening to the tv. I was glad to be going "home".
