Stone Mountain

Adam and I had a very fun day today. We had breakfast together then went hiking at Stone Mountain Park. It was not my first trip there. Christy and her Mamaw took me during college and Adam and I ran there one time about 5 years ago. In case you don't live in Atlanta, it's a very odd literally stone mountain right outside of Atlanta. You might be wondering what the heck it is. For you:

• Who are the three men on the Carving on the mountain?
  The Memorial Carving depicts three Confederate heroes of the Civil War: Confederate President Jefferson Davis, General Robert E. Lee and Lt. General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson
• How big/tall is the mountain? How big is the Carving?
  The mountain is 825 feet tall and covers 583 acres. The top of the mountain is 1,683 feet above sea level.
  The entire carved surface of the Memorial Carving measures three acres, larger than a football field. The carving of the three men towers 400 feet above the ground, measures 90 by 190 feet, and is recessed 42 feet into the mountain. The deepest point of the carving is at Lee's elbow, which is 12 feet to the mountain's surface.

Yep, it's random. But we knew we had to climb to the top of it at some point while we live in Atlanta. The whole hike up was rock. I was surprised by that but looking back it was a little stupid to assume otherwise. This is us at the top but you can't tell from the picture. It was foggy at the top so the view was a little cloudy, but it's still very pretty up there. Wonderful day of quality time...my love language.
