Another few days have slipped by us on our trip. On Saturday, we took the girls to see the American Girl store near Atlanta and paid some hyper-inflated prices for some accessories for their dolls. What an awesome business model! You charge $22 for a stuffed dog to go with a doll and the girls (young and old alike) line up in droves to (have someone) pay it. After American Girl and a lovely mall lunch (all mall lunches taste the same, no matter if you are on the east or west coast), we took in some rainy sights at Stone Mountain. This solid granite escarpment near Atlanta is quite a sight. It is surrounded by a beautiful park and features a train, tram to the top of the mountain, museums, and a plantation house. When it is not raining and the attractions are open, we are sure they are all top notch. Because it was raining, they had most of the park shut down. As a result, we drove around the mountain, checked out a cool old covered bridge, and walked part way up the mountain. One interesting side note about the mountain is the bas relief in one side of it of Stonewall Jackson, Jefferson Davis, and Robert E. Lee. It's a confederate Mount Rushmore blasted right into the granite.
By the way, the Anytime Fitness conference is over and we had a great time, but I didn't take any pictures. Oh well, there's always next year.
