I have been traveling the past several weeks. I started with a Memorial Day weekend trip with some friends to Atlanta and Blue Ridge, GA. We visited the Georgia Aquarium, which is really quite nice. Visually, they did a very nice job with the design. However, there seemed to be less focus on education than on being visually pleasing, as compared to other aquariums that I have visited. We continued north from Atlanta to a small town called Blue Ridge. We went whitewater rafting on the Ocoee River. It was my first time, and it was a lot of fun. No one fell out of the boat, but we did fall on top of each other. We ended the trip with a factory tour at the Mayfield Dairy, where they process milk.

After returning to Gainesville, I left the next day for New Jersey. Two days later, I was on a plane to Vancouver, Canada, with my parents. We spent 3 days in Vancouver, which is a very nice city. We then boarded a cruise ship, heading through the ‘Inside Passage’ to Alaska. The scenery there is gorgeous, and I will post some pictures eventually. We took 1300 pictures, so I will have to choose a sample of the best ones. Here are a couple:

Update: Pictures posted!
