We have arrived!

I finally have a chance to sit down and breathe for a minute. We had a few hiccups when it came to packing the house up. Since it is the summer rush, there were new people working on the crew, and things weren't being done exactly right. The moving liaison for the base was great, and worked everything out for us. If you are moving with the military, definitely use your liaison. He or she will make sure things are right and will do everything to make sure both sides are protected. After our movers were done, Hubby and I, along with his parents, took a couple days to finish cleaning and touching up our house. We ended up spending a few weeks with my in-laws, and then headed down to Atlanta for a few days before we flew out to Germany. We visited the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga, the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, and The World of Coca-Cola in Atlanta. It was a fun last few days in the states.

I'll do two additional posts, in order to break the pictures up a bit. I took a ton more than just these, but I will share a few of my favorites.

The following pictures are from our trip to the Tennessee Aquarium. The aquarium is divided into two buildings, and there is also an IMAX theater. The aquarium was quite busy the day we visited. There are exhibits ranging from a stingrays, to a feeling tank (where you can touch sharks,) to  alligators, turtles, fish, and so much more!

I love this picture of the kids! They were looking at stingrays.

The butterfly room was a favorite for all the kids.

This turtle shell is 10 million years old. It is really big! You can get a good idea of just how big, by looking at the electrical outlet to the bottom left of the shell.
