Stone Mountain

 Since moving to Georgia we have heard a lot about Stone Mountain.  That it was a must see for sure.  We thought with Kristen in town it would be the perfect opportunity to go and see what it was all about.  The thing I was the most excited to see what the covered bridge.  I am a sucker for charm and to me a covered bridge OOZES charm. 
 And like a true nerd, I took as many pictures as I possibly could of the bridge in all it's glory. 

 I'm pretty sure I need a covered bridge for our next family picture.  I'm on the hunt.
 We took a walk around the lake and it was possibly the most beautiful "hike" I've ever been on. 


 Serious beauty going on here. 

 This boy loves to climb anything he can get his hands on, I always love when he can climb whatever he wants and not get in trouble for it. 

 The grist mill was awesome too.

 This carving was so interesting.  It is of Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis and Stonewall Jackson.  

 We brought a picnic and the boys played games as we waited for the laser show and fireworks. All of the sudden a storm swept in and we got an announcement that the show would be postponed due to the storm.
 We sat in our car playing cards during the craziest storm ever.  There was so much lightening going on and at one time the lightening and thunder hit at the same time.  It freaked me out!
We never got to see the laser show, but it was definitely a memorable night!
