Stone Mountain, Georgia




We spent a few days near Atlanta, Georgia in Stone Mountain Park.  Stone Mountain is the largest single piece of granite in the country.  There was a 1.5 mile hike to the top of the mountain, but we found the Swiss cable car was a much faster option.

There was a great view of the Confederate Memorial Carving.  It is the largest relief sculpture in the world. 


We went for a spin/cruise on the Duck.  It is a 1940's Army amphibious truck.

We spent some time geocaching and have reached 100 finds.

We joined every field trippin' sixth grader in the area for the Sky Hike.  I figured that if they let children on it, it must be safe and easy....wrong.  It was scary and challanging but lots of fun.
