Today we spent the day on Lake Lanier (click on the link for a map of this HUGE lake!) which is in northeastern Georgia. We drove all the way to the Buford Dam, about an hour from the lake house. The lake was created in 1956 by the Army Corps of Engineers using the Buford Dam to stop up the Chattahoochee River.
The lake is so beautiful and is host to all kinds of boaters, like fishermen, sailboaters and recreational boaters, like us. We cruised around for a while and eventually found a proper cove to tube in. I didn't tube for long, maybe three good runs. For my second time tubing I think I did pretty well. I only got rocked and ate it hard one time. I'm so proud!
After my mom tubed, we headed back to the house and the weather turned from sunny and gorgeous to an absolute downpour. I napped and lounged the rest of the day, nursing an excellent sunburn and the feeling of waves in my mind. Now I'm going to watch the season finale of Glee! since I missed it on Tuesday! I'm so happy!
Tomorrow we're going to the Atlanta Aquarium pretty early. Needless to say, I'm going to explode with excitement. I love love love aquariums! I've been to a ton, but this one is touted as being the worlds largest (seriously!) with all sorts of unique exhibits like whale sharks, albino alligators, a Friday jazz concerts (also, seriously!), sea turtles, and, my FAVORITE, sea otters!
Pictures from today's adventures are on my Picasa album, facebook and also, a little slide show on the side bar of this site.
