The main viewing window on that tank (the whale shark tank) is 2 feet thick (says their website, but I've also read 25 and 27 inches).
Beautiful pictures! Thanks for sharing! And wow, i DIG the wave-box!

I'd say Atlanta is worthy of a vacation of say a few days. I'm kind of hoping to drag my family there to the aquarium (I was there on biz so the kids missed out on the aquarium
). But I'd probably combine it with a trip to visit some friends up in the Carolina's or something like that.There's also the Coca-Cola museum. Time was limited for me so I couldn't check it out but it's right next door to the aquarium. Think they also have a zoo. So I'd say probably each of those is worthy of a day. So a long-weekend thing would be perfect, maybe stretchable up to a week but probably not really any longer than that, unless you put another destination into the mix (like, say, go on over to Savannah for a few days and so on).

FYI for anyone who is thinking of going...
The behind the scenes tour has to be booked well in advance. You can do so online. Well worth it!

If I was able to convince my wife, she might like it for the day but knowing her I would have to find somewhere else to take her, she isn't as much of a fish lover as I am. Tolerates me at best, but thats got nothing to do with the fish.

What's she into? Here, check out this list.
http://www.atlanta.net/50fun/completelist.asp When I was there, one of the museums was advertising an exhibit all about gold, which I thought kinda sounded interesting and wished I had had the time to go check that out too. I'll see if I can find a link for it.

Here it is:
http://www.fernbankmuseum.org/museum...ldExhibit.aspx Also Savannah sounds pretty neat. Dunno if ghost stories float you or your wife's boat at all, but I know my wife would be all over this sort of thing if I managed to get us down there: http://www.savannahtours.us/?event=o...0in%20Savannah Could be fun?
