midnight train from georgia
so. we went to Atlanta this weekend for a wedding. I'd only been through GA once before, driving to FL. maybe around 4 am or so. I was pretty unimpressed by their lack of rest stops and general suckiness.. This time was also underwhelming. The wedding was great.. Atlanta? sucked. Random traffic everywhere. Sucky signs. People? Well, they were friendlier than DC for sure. (though most people are!) I guess that's good?
one cool thing (we didn't quite see) was Stone Mountain. My friend's rehearsal dinner was held at a restaurant in the
Stone Mountain Park. It's, well.. this big stone mountain. We spent a whole bunch of time driving around the park in the dark looking for the restaurant (and ending up at the edge of a very dark lake near an equally dark covered bridge) before we realized that there was an, um, stone mountain. right there. Hm.
that christmas tree? It's on top of stone mountain. just try to imagine, right?
they also had this "southern christmas" thing going on in the park- zillions and zillions of lights all over the place making pretty scenes to the side of the road. they also had a village of sorts, and a laser sort of show on the side of the mountain I think.
