My head is still all filled with my weekend trip.  I'm not really able to do it justice in words.  My friend did a fantastic job of showing me around to some of the most beautiful spots as well as some pretty exciting ones.  I'll do a readers digest version below, but I'm going to stick in a few pics I took to round it out a little.  I think to get a more complete version you'll have to jump over to my flickr account and even then, there are things that this lady isn't gonna tell! ;)
 
Friday - arrive after an all night flight, discover waffle houses over a huge greasy breakfast, play wii, take a nap, dinner at a local place that had sweet potato fries and a relaxing evening playing with friends kitty.
 
Saturday - Go to Stone Mountain which is a huge granit rock about 600 feet high and who knows how long, discover they are having highlander games, do a "ropes" course inside the park, take tram to top of mountain, watch laser light show on mountain, bathe kitty and relax.
 
Sunday - Take a walk along the Chattahoochie (sp?) river which has Columbus, GA on one side and Phenix, AL on the other, do a little driving around to see the "feel" of each town, tour of Ft. Benning, go through new Infantry Museum, grill steaks and drink wayyyyy too many martinis, naked walk through woods at midnight.
 
Monday - Visit man made lake and get a short walk in, drive through farm country on way to airport, fly home.

    Oh come on now! Wheres the picture of that midnight walk?! Did you do the high-ropes course?! I LOVE The picture of the kitty...it looks like one of those cat pics that you can add a caption to :)

    frags - I generally don't create evidence to prove just how crazy I am ;)  I did the high ropes course, but I nearly peed myself it was so scary with my fear of heights.  Poor Dora really does look like a LOL cat, huh?

    Your 'weekend' trips put mine to shame. You go 2/3rds across the country, I drive for 2 & 2/3rds hours.

    My caption for the kitty - "Is it time for my med?"
  • Hegemone said on Oct 21, 2009....
    Lol full of awesome pictures as usual.  But um, yeah ... walking through the woods at midnight naked?  The way that cat looks, you better make sure SHE didn't create evidence of your adventures, lol.

    Ah, so they were Highland Games then! :-D Those are sooo cool! Before we had kids, DH and I went every year on a long weekend because the ones in our state are only a couple hours away from here. I love it!

    I'm glad your trip was so much fun. :) Dora is on tv here right now so I giggled at the kitty's name, lol...cute though!

    BTV - I tend to do things a little over the top ;)  Like the caption!

    Hege - hey, after a few martinis the walk seemed reasonable!  That kitty loved me, I pulled out my hair dryer and fluffed her back up.

    TIO - I had never been to a highlands games, but I will go to them closer if I can in the future. (house of Gordon rocks!)  I'm not sure why he calls her Dora, I though Mini was more fitting.

    Caption for kid in second pic -

    "If they ever do this to me again, I'll leave home."

    Once again you posted some great photos! I'm so happy that you had a great time!
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 21, 2009....
    BTV - I was thinking "At home they get all upset when I put on mom's skirt" and for kitty I had "Let's talk about the Geneva Convention for a minute"
     
    mixed - thanks, glad you enjoyed it
  • Lucytorial said on Oct 21, 2009....
    How fabulous is that mountain!!! and the scenics of the lake wow!
     
    Okay you can just stop now, this is making my life look miserably boring! *-}
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 21, 2009....
    Lu - LOL well, as I recall you have pretty spectacular scenery there .... and bugs!
  • Lucytorial said on Oct 21, 2009....
    Yeh but this is different!
     
    Now lets talk about that naked walk in the middle of the night!
    ((and you thought you'd slip that one in pfftt))
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 21, 2009....
    Lu  - lets not! I mean one walk is pretty much like another .... right?
  • Lucytorial said on Oct 21, 2009....
    Noooo it isn't... firstly WHO'S idea was the naked walk..... andexactly what time in the witching hour was this walk???
     
    ANY why was it a NAKED walk?
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 21, 2009....
    Lu - I'm pretty sure it was his, but then we'd both been drinking (does this bring back any particular memory my friend?!) and why NOT naked at midnight when it was dark?
  • Lucytorial said on Oct 21, 2009....
    LOL your friend has an eye and not just TWO on you my friend.... my guess is the third eye was watching you intently in the dark BWA HA HA HA HA
     
    OMG yes I wasn't too drunk to forget the twins, shame no one in the resort yelled out PUT YOUR CLOTHES ON AND SHUT THE HELL UP!
     
     
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 21, 2009....
    Lu - well, he was nekkid too!  Believe me, the temperature outside was not condusive to third eyes ;)  LOL, I can't believe we didn't follow up on that hairbrained idea we had to go swimming that night au naturale.
  • Lucytorial said on Oct 21, 2009....
    bit chilly? brrsscchhh this holiday seems as though its turned a page for you....
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 21, 2009....
    Lu - it was faaareeeezing out there!  Which of course added to the fun of the whole escapade. lol  I think I've been getting to this stage for a while, it just took finding someone else as crazy as me to kick it off .... and you're not as close as he is.  Yes, I'm calling you crazy.
  • Lucytorial said on Oct 21, 2009....
    bWAA HA HA HA compliments like that make me smile.
     
    so first chapter has begun, I can't wait to read the rest if you know what I mean.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 21, 2009....
    Lu - [looks prim and proper] why I have no idea what you're talking about! [bats eyelashes innocently]
  • Lucytorial said on Oct 21, 2009....
    ((((( giggles mercilously)))))
     
    denial is always far more fun for the onlooker.... *-}
     
    Now I'm off to work, have a great night!
  • wombat said on Oct 21, 2009....

    Behind and don't even know where you went, but photos #6 and #7 make me miss my southern lake area back in Tn.  You sure do get around, don't ya'?  Wish I could go too....glad you had a good time.

    (wish I was caught up, then I might know about the mountain side carving.)  But I can proudly say I do know about the greasy waffle house breakfasts!

  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 21, 2009....
    wombie - well, without the hospitality of SC and other friends I doubt I'd get around to as many places.  I will say I'm enjoying every minute of every "adventure".  The mountain is new blog stuff and it's one of the places I visited while in the Atlanta area.
  • wombat said on Oct 21, 2009....
    Oh..Atlanta, GA area....sorry to not know that.  But that's fantastic that you got to go and thanks for sharing!

I demand to know how it got here so fast, lol....
I'm thankful for all my SC friends. :-) So to pay tribute I will make the turkery, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy. You can bring a side dish or dessert.

All are welcome.

What will you bring?

CW...
On a very cold and rainy night, I took in two little strangers....
As many of you know, I send little packages out to different people....
Last night Sweetie and I drove to San Jose to have dinner with my niece....
