The South Will Rise Again...er...Trip to Stone Mountain

I am a little behind on my family fun days. Two weeks ago we went to Stone Mountain and had a fab time. We drove around the park to look at the "horses on the big rock" and then straight to the playground. The playground is great and the girls had a great time running around on the equipment and then playing in the big sandbox.

After that we drove to the grassy knoll in front of the rock and walked all the way down the lawn. It is always interesting learning more history about the War of Northern Aggression, and Stone Mountain has many plaques that list when each state seceded and then was reinstated, etc. I know this is all serious stuff to Georgians...and it is important to know and understand, but sometimes it all just makes this "Yankee" (or whatever I am) chuckle.
We watched some fish jumping in the pond, some big trucks unloading a musical stage and sound equipment, and then slowly walked back up the lawn. We ended the morning with lunch at Checkers. Fun day with the fam!
