Day 3 - Ends with a smile

Blog today courtesy of Ryan S.

Today's pictures are here!

Another great warm day! This morning we went to the zoo. We went rock climbing, rode a mini train, and a carousel. We also saw lots of animals and exhibits. (Warthogs are really kind of ugly!)

After the zoo we went to the cyclorama. It was a giant oil painting (over a 100 years old) that had a painting of the battle of Atlanta from the civil war, in addition it had a diorama that was blended in with it, that gave it a real 3d feel. It had bleachers that rotated around so you could see the whole painting.

We then went to a really good restaurant that had amazing bbq (although I don't like bbq, everyone else liked it) the place kinda reminded us of home, and after that the taxi driver took us on a small tour and we learned all about the stadiums and the Olympics. (we even saw a car crash that involved a Highway Patrol), we even went to the old Fulton County stadium (the old Braves stadium) and saw the part of fence that Hank Aaron hit his 715th home run over. They also had the whole diamond lined with bricks and we ran the bases.

Back in the hotel, we played a little hallway soccer - and soon it will be bedtime!
