A View of the Whole Earth


It seems like it was just January, and in the blink of an eye...BAM!...it's March and Daylight Saving what??!!

Daylight Saving Time.  Sooo what we lost an hour today.  That's a joke! It felt like any other day to me.  It really seems like time plays an evil joke with me with the hour hand racing around the clock saying every chance it can, "I got you!" LOL.  Do you ever feel like that?

Boy what a B-E-A-U-tiful day it was today!!!  Atlantans love us some nice weather. Give us any day with temperatures above 65 degrees and we want to play outside. One of our favorite places to hang out on a gorgeous day is Stone Mountain. In fact, if you've never been to Stone Mountain and hiked to the top of the big rock, well, you can't really call yourself a true Atlantan.

The Hubs, Roller and I decided to walk up the mountain today. The Hubs and I have done it before, but this was the first time for Roller to walk all the way to the top. We deliberately waited until he was five. We have seen and heard enough crying children begging to be carried most of the way up or down the big rock.  I think five is the right age. Seems like we weren't the only ones with this idea. When we got to the park, there was a line of cars to get in, and the parking lot near the walk up trail was already full.



Look at this show-off running up the mountain. I think he was really trying to show us up! Not so much on the way down though.






When we got to the top, Roller said, "You can see the whole earth from here!" Well...not quite.  The things a five year old says!


Of course...there was play time with Daddy.


And we can't forget to bust a move...upside down glasses and all...from the place where you can see the whole earth!







It really was a perfect day to hike up here. 


Looking forward to more beautiful weather and sunny blue skies. Come on spring. Get here. Fast!
