Stone Mountain

Stone Mountain, Georgia is a beautiful and must-do activity while in Georgia.

It has many advantages as an out-door hangout or date. I want to go there every Sunday if I can. 

I have decided I must buy a Fanny Pack because of trips like the late ones. It is so much convinient to have in there your camera or phone. Hands-free are necessary for hiking, specially on Stone Mountain, yes, it is a mountain of stone, some might find that amusing.

Running, walking, or hiking the mountain is tiring but rewarding. The whole Park has many things to do and see, and in my last two trips I am pretty sure I have not seen it completely. I will go again, therefore we decided to buy the annual parking pass. It's only 35 dollar, the one-day parking is 10. Tennis shoes, and sport clothes should also be kept in mind.

My new challenge is try to run more than a minute up-hill. Didn't know about the hiking trails you start on the Stone Mountain view, and today we did the Cherokee trail. Very pretty, full of nature and so many shades of green that went attuned with the singing birds.

I keep wondering if I should go up the mountain chewing gum to contribute with the bubble-gum light posts that are along the way. Ver disgustingly colorful.

There was a lightning storm warning, but we went anyways and we did fine. Decided to have a snack, up at the top of the mountain shop and to go down on the Sky bucket, very wise decision as it started to pour rain a few minutes after the bucket touched floor.

This mini trip culminated my friend Elsita visit, with Pocho and Joe Joe. Me and my other friends had her jumping and running back and forth sinced she arrived to Atlanta on Thursday. Yuanivel took her to CNN tour and I catched up with them on Coca-Cola World. On Friday I had a Pure Romance Party where Yuanivel also did a Mary Kay presentation. Lizbeth and Elsa came along to help, as so did Jessica for a while. Elsa, Lizbeth  and I joined our friend Nelson for some late night salsa dancing. On Saturday, we spent  the day at Six Flags with Pocho, yes, I went again this weekend, and saw the other half I had missed. Didin't get on Supermans ride, not just yet. 

So far, #georgiapeaches dosen't disappoint me at all! Loving at the south! We finished the night with some cooking, a couple of meat, fruits, salad, potatoes, zuchinni and goat cheese. The dessert of red velvet cake, cheesecake and caramel ice-cream. We had a great feast! Good enought to say good-bye and let Elsita back to Southern Maryland.

Game of Thrones Season Finale and off to bed to finish this awesome weekend. Next weekend, off driving around eight hours to Louisiana, to visit my baby sisters. Can't wait!
