Stone Mountain, GA
Today I was talking with Poppy (Michael's dad) and he was telling me about this wonderful place to visit in Georiga called Stone Mountain. He told me that he used to go there a lot when he was younger. I thought I would research it at bit and this is what I found. http://www.rlrouse.com/stone-mountain.html
It is a geological wonder. Covering 583 acres and rising 825 feet into the air, it is the largest single chunk of exposed granite in the world. It is quite literally the largest rock in the state of Georgia! Carved into the side of Stone Mountain are Jefferson Davis, Gen. Robert E. Lee, & Gen. Stonewall Jackson (kind of like Mt. Rushmore).
From October 21-22, 2006 Georgia will be resounded with the sounds of bagpipes, fiddles and harps. For the 34th consecutive year, thousands of Scots (even those that wish to be "Scot for the Day") from around the world will don their family tartans and gather to greet old friends and make new ones too. --I think this is something Clayton and I will definetly have to go to this fall (because he's mostly Scottish!) Thanks Poppy for the great advice!
