This morning we got up early and promptly went back to sleep after the alarm woke us up. We headed out to the Silver Skillet, a local diner, for breakfast. Afterward, we went to the Georgia aquarium and we finally ended up eating dinner at Poor Calvin’s Absolute Fusion, which is a Thai/Asian Fusion restaurant.
My mom did both the beluga experience and the whale shark swim. I went around with my dad to ALL the other parts of the Georgia aquarium. But lets start with the breakfast at the Silver Skillet.
I got the sandwich with bacon eggs and cheese, my mom got the ham skillet and my dad got eggs and sausage.
We also had biscuits, which were good, and I was SO excited to see this tabletop because it is almost exactly the same as our kitchen counter used to be (our house was built in the 60s.) So I loved it. (those shapes!!)
Next we went to the aquarium.
Beluga whales!
Albino alligator!
Piranha
WHALE SHARK!!!!
Behind the scenes: They grow their own coral!
Sorry Atlanta lovers, as a Seattle fan I’m still a bit upset over the playoffs. 😦
Still a cool dolphin though.
Lastly, we headed over to Poor Calvin’s, and parked by central park.
Thought I would show the drinks up closer.
I had the crispy beef, my mom had the unicorn fish, and my dad had the steak. I also ordered the sangria (amazing) and my mom had the “Frankly my dear” cocktail. Both were great, and all the food was too.
We had the calamari as an appetizer.
The staff was really friendly and they also gave us a gift at the end of our meal: a chocolate-covered apple with a 15% off an entree coupon.
We very much enjoyed our day today and had a much-needed great meal and drink at the end. Glad we didn’t settle for the loud, not-as-great hotel bar. 🙂
If I lived in Atlanta, I think I’d go to Poor Calvin’s to drink as well, seemed like a very nice bar with friendly staff.
