#90 Stone Mountain Adventure
11:23 AM
We headed out after lunch with the church crew today to begin our trek to Stone Mountain Park, GA for their Laser Show and Firework Display for the 4th. After 3 hours of driving, we finally arrived to the park, and quickly realized how much of a theme park type place this was.
Different areas to do activities, shops and restaurants, chair lift rides to the top of the mountain, and a full size train that wraps the entire perimeter of the mountain. We got caught in a tsunami of a rain storm right as we were walking in. All the girls tried to huddle themselves under Lydia's blanket, which resulted in a 50 lb saturated blanket full of rain and a bunch of wet people. These are the moments that burn memories in your mind right? :)
Since we couldn't find any decent places to eat outside of the park, we did our best to try and find some grub before the show. Which resulted in bellies filled with funnel cakes, twisted corn dogs, and burgers.
Stephen located a spot for us on the Laser Show Lawn, which his directions were so magical you couldn't help but recite them as if you were Buddy the Elf explaining how he made it from the North Pole to New York.
We camped out down right near the center ofthe lawn, and your whole view was filled with the mountain and sky. The show itself was nothing short of amazing. I'll have to figure a way to get some videos posted, because my phone died right before all this.
We didn't end up making it home tonight until about 5am, but every single one of us found every moment of it completely worth it.
