Georgia Aquarium
After Christmas, the Pohick Gang drove to Atlanta, GA and visited the Georgia Aquarium. The aquarium was pretty awesome and well worth the drive. The Georgia Aquarium, located in Atlanta, Georgia at Pemberton Place, is billed as the "world's largest aquarium" with more than 8.1 million US gallons (30,662 m³; 30,661,835 liters) of marine and fresh water housing more than 100,000 animals of 500 different species. To see a few more pictures from this adventure, check out this link.
Great Granny Pohick
The Pohick gang had a great Christmas this year. Jake's mother squeaky visited. We also had a visit from Molly's sister JD and Great Granny Pohick.
