Moutain Excitement
After living in Illinois for so long, it was really exciting today to get out an see a real mountain! We went to Stone Mountain State Park, where a cable car took us up over a 1,000 feet.
The top of the mountain showed some wonderful effects from erosion, including little rock pools of water which accumulates in the winter.
Although the view down was fascinating, the view across the terrain to Atlanta was pretty spectacular too.
Stone Mountain is most famous for this relief carved into the side of it
No, you're not seeing things. It was 76 degrees, so they make artificial snow for the kids to play on! The one thing we certainly didn't feel inclined to try!
