More Pictures

Yes, I know, I took 6 days of vacation and only posted once! Pathetic indeed.
I'll repent by posting a few more pictures. Post note: I'm done with picassa!!! i had to fix this post about 5 times!!! Enjoy it!

The park had this HUGE activity barn that would have been so much fun, had it been opened. As it was, we had to settle for this single activity attraction. The instructions tell you to stand with the outside of your right foot flush with the wall, then place your right cheek against the wall (eewwww!! :P but i tried it anyway). Then you were to try, just TRY to lift your left foot off the ground. Sure enough, it wouldn't come up. I felt kind of foolish as I thought about the possible populations this activity was targeting in its day... interesting perspectives the South has to offer.
Here's a close up of some Ivy. There were so many cool photo ops.. just what I asked for! :D

Even in the wintery month of February, there was more green in Georgia than is even possible in Utah. Especially with our SNOWSTORMS of the week. Here's a shot of the trees with ivy growing all the way up the trunk. Beautiful!



This picture should give you a better perspective on just how big this stone mountain is. I took this one about half way up the grassy area the other one was taken about halfway again closer than this one. Kinda cool, huh? I'm a little more inspired to get to Mount Rushmore now. :)

Trips

This was cool. Stone Mountain, Georgia. They carved this monument in the side of a giant rock in the middle of town. The three men are Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson and Jefferson Davis. It was a beautiful park, with EXPANSIVE grassy areas for watching the fireworks show. Unfortunately, we were too early in the season to see the fireworks, and the children with us would not have made it that long. It was a fun way to get out of the house and see something of Atlanta.
My visit has been cathartic.. in more ways than one. Tomorrow I head for home, hopefully to warmer weather and no snow. :D
