Our trip to Stone Mountain

We had a wonderful trip to Stone Mountain, GA.  The weather was perfect and the hotel and two pools!  My kids thought they were in heaven.  Both the indoor and outdoor pools were heated.  We went on a nature walk Sunday morning and played at the playground before leaving that afternoon.  When we arrived on Saturday we rode the tram to the top of the mountain.  Stone Mountain is the largest outcrop of granite in the (I can’t remember where).  And it continues 10 miles underground.  Pretty cool huh??

 Here’s the tram we rode.  Isn’t that just a beautiful sky?
Here we are on top of the mountain looking down in one of those "pay a couple quarters to see up close" thingies.  That’s the Atlanta/Buckhead area in the background.

Does my daughter look like she rules the roost or what??

Here #1 and #2 son are playing football with their dad on the lawn at the base of the mountain.

After spending the day at the mountain we checked into our hotel room.  Here’s what bored kids do to entertain themselves…

This was the view from just outside our hotel room once we walked down towards the lake…

Another shot from down near the lake…

It didn’t take the kids long to figure out what to do for fun at the lake

Can you spot the kid in this photo?

The two littlest in our family…

We found this guy at the playground

He wanted me to specifically tell Tony Carter that AUBURN ROCKS!!

This was my favorite part of the trip.  Sunday morning I awoke to find this outside my bedroom window.  It was so spectacular.  I just wanted to stop and freeze time for hours.



Yep, we were blessed and my son is OFFICIALLY 6!!
