Stone Mountain, GA Adventure

 

It has been on Dave's bucket list for a while now to visit Stone Mountain and see the laser show at night.  SO, we finally made it a reality this weekend!  We had planned to drive down to GA on Saturday but when we realized the park prices were less than half on a Sunday we quickly changed the hotel reservation and drove down Sunday instead.  We met Grammy and Papa for lunch and then headed over to Stone Mountain park.

The moutain and carving were pretty wild to see!  I'm not sure what the kids and I were thinking it would be like, but it was cool to think about the huge piece of granite we were standing on.  We rode to the top, Preston's favorite part, and then our family hiked down.  I'm so thankful it was partly overcast because it was a HOT day for sure.  When we finally made it down, Papa picked us up in the car and we continued our park adventure.

We saw a 4D show, played mini golf, and rode the train (on which we tolerated a terrible show).  Then we said goodbye to Grammy and Papa and headed out for pizza at the hotel.  That's an entirely different story, which made us all super mad, but let's just say we ended up with one free pizza and went to McDonald's for the rest of dinner.

We headed back to the park after dinner and played some cards on the lawn while waiting for the laser show to start.  It was pretty interesting to watch . . . but we all agreed it was TOO long.

We headed back to Charlotte this morning and made it just in time for Preston's cross-fit camp. :)  It was a fast and fun weekend adventure for sure.
