Our gas company gave us free tickets to Stone Mountain Park and having heard about it from friends and with my Terry blood pumping through my veins I was excited to see a mountain with a massive carving of Robert E. Lee on it. There were some frustrating moments because I tried to over-plan it, but once I decided to just flow with the day it got better. The kids loved it.
