Stone Mountain

We went to Stone Mountain a few weeks ago with some friends, which is one of the more touristy things you can do here. We figured we had to do it at least once, and many of the people we went with hadn't gone yet either. The title of this place says it all--it's literally a mountain made of stone, apparently the biggest granite site in the (world? US? I don't know, and it doesn't really matter). There are a few little shops nearby that sell things like funnel cake (yes!) and blown glass. We saw a woman blowing a glass vase and we gluttoned ourselves on some greasy goodness, and then we sat down to see a laser show that they display on the mountain itself. Good, old fashioned fun.
