Home Again, but Something is Missing

Some cute little cuddly otters. I wouldn't mind having some of these for pets.

Spider crabs. Yuck! These are creepy.

Beluga whales

Sharks! They had an underwater tunnel you could walk through and look at many different kinds of sharks and fish. I was underneath these sharks. Very cool.

Jellyfish

Nemo's friend. Nemo was in the same tank but he was hiding so
I couldn't get a picture. This was a pretty fishy though.

Nick and I went to Atlanta this weekend to cheer for the Hokies as they attempted to bring down Alabama. Didn't really work out that way, but we still had a good weekend. The pictures above are of our trip to the Aquarium. These aren't pictures of our fur balls, but since they are animals, I thought it would be okay to post them to the blog. The trip to the aquarium was probably the highlight of our trip. We tried to go when we went down in 2006 for the Chick-fil-a Bowl and we couldn't get tickets. So we made sure to get them for this trip and ordered them in advance. We had a really good time and got to see some interesting species. Nick got to touch a stingray, but I chickened out and would move my hand everytime they would swim up close. Oh well, maybe next time. Actually, it will probably be a while before we go back to Atlanta since the Hokies lose every time we go. So sad.

Anyway, we are back at home and two of the fur balls are very happy to have us back. Gus and Zander are loving life right now and have free reign of the entire house. Unfortunately we will not be getting the other two (Roque and DJ) until tomorrow because the Vet's office is closed today. I bought Roque a shark that rolls around on the floor to show her how much we missed her. Hopefully DJ has recovered from his little UTI.

It is weird to be here with just two cats. Things just don't seem right. I will be happy when everyone is back tomorrow and things are back to normal.
