A trip to Stone Mountain

So the boys, Miguel, Jeff, and Jared, plus Katie, hiked up Stone Mountain today. They made good time, by the time Maxine, Sydney, and I drove around to the cable car, went up on the cable car, and walked around on top of the mountain for a few, the boys and Katie had made it up. It was over 1 mile straight up, so they made it in 25 minutes or so, I was impressed. Miguel of course had to carry Katie most of the way, but Katie had a blast. It was a pretty nice and warm day too. We even got a little sunburned. And for those of you not familiar with or from the south, the carving on the mountain is of Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, and Jefferson Davis. Did you also know that the steps to the White House were quarried at Stone Mountain? As well as the base of the Lincoln Memorial and the gates to the Panama Canal. It's neat to me anyway. If you want to see a few more pics from today, check out this link.
