Day 4- Stone Mountain, Georgia

June 15th 2013
Time to rise and shine and climb Stone Mountain! We have to call Ouma before we leave camp, HAPPY BIRTHDAY OUMA!! We walk around the lake and meet more little friends and play with some very friendly geese. Then take the shuttle to the mountain, then take the Skylift up to the top of Stone Mountain. On the top you can see for many miles. There are holes in the stone that make interesting puddles and rock formations. We start the long hike down, along with a lot of other people. We see lots of neat things, and at the bottom, even a bunch of telephone poles covered in bubble gum (yuk!) We visit Confederate Hall at the bottom, then take the shuttle to the Crossroads area to have lunch. The Campfire Grill is delicious and ... read more

Day 3- Stone Mountain Georgia is the place Oupa and Grandma took mommy (Amanda) on their first road trip. It only took 3 hours from Chattanooga to drive here. First thing we did is set up camp, eat Quesadillas for lunch, then off to ride the train around the mountain. The Crossroads entertainment area has plenty of shows and things to see and do. We listened to a story teller, watched a 4-D movie "Journey to Mysterious Island 2" and followed the "Bubble Man" all over the park! Ice Cream and off we go, back to the camp, to swim in the pool.... read more

We leave on our cruise in 4 days. I look forward to sharing with you along the way! “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain ... read more

Die wohl klingende Melodie der Heimat. Wow jetzt sind die 6 Monate im Projekt Chattanooga schon wieder rum. Und aufgehört haben sie mit einem Paukenschlag. Ich durfte die letzten 5 Tage bei Mike und seiner Familie in Sacramento verbringen. Und was ich da erlebt habe war nochmal ein Highlight dieser ganzen Tour. Aber ich will anfangen und hier einmal alles recht kurz auflisten (Damit, wenn ich vergesse wo ich war auch noch mal nachlesen kann): · Oktober: Ankunft, Kennenlernen Brian, Sue, Autumn und Aaron, Einzug und Memphis · November: Thanksgiving, Wiedersehen mit Ray und Judy nach 6 Jahren und New Orleans · Dezember: Besuch Papa, Besuch Verena, Smokies, Weihnachten und Silvester auf Jamaica · Januar: Jägerschnitzelabend mit den Jerds (Irgendwie muss man doch Geschmack in dieses Land bekommen) · Februar: mmhh habe ich im Februar eigentlich ... read more

Wow! Having watched the Masters Golf tournament on TV for years, I had no idea how much more beautiful Augusta, Georgia is in person. The fairways and greens were so sculpted they looked fake. We looked and couldn't find even one weed. It started out as a beautiful morning and just continued to get more beautiful as the day wore on. The azaleas were blooming in profusion. Whites, pinks, reds, purples, salmon colored...Beautiful. There were dogwood trees in bloom too. Whites, pinks and yellows. The magnolia trees were covered with lavender wisteria blossoms hanging from the trunks. Everywhere you looked there were flowers or flowering trees. We walked into Augusta National and immediately saw the huge "Masters' scoreboard. It has flags on top from every country that has a player involved. We walked up along the ... read more

Heading Home I was up before dawn ready to hit the road but had to see what I was doing so it was coffee and wait. I was packed and headed for the sewer dump by 8:15 hoping I wouldn’t have to wait too long in line. Surprise, no line so I was done in no time, went back to my sight, got the leveling blocks and parked the camper down the road where I could hook up the car. All that was done and I was on the road by 8:45 day light saving time. I had to go west to go north and east and I hated doing it but the roads were better that way and actually shorter. I settled into a driver mode and made really good time even though I stopped ... read more
