Great Fun, Unless You Were Looking for a Surprise.

Posted by: Amelia // Category: Good Questions, Inappropriate Beer Drinking // 4:47 pm

Hello, there. You’re looking nice today. Perhaps it is the glow that comes from knowing it’s Friday. Perhaps you are thinking about Chinese food for dinner, Mom. Or! Perhaps it is that smart Wren’s Nest t-shirt you are wearing. Lookin’ good!

Brer Terrapin, lookin' good!

(Brer Terrapin could be yours in a matter of days!)

Now, while the fronts of these t-shirts tend to be the attention-getters, it pays not to overlook the back. Literally!

That’s where our sponsors are!

I see the effects of some of our sponsors on a daily basis (thanks Rentokil!), but frankly, I wasn’t sure Stone Mountain, one of our biggest sponsors, even existed until this weekend. Giant mountain? Near Atlanta? Then why can’t I see it?!* Nice try, wiseguys.

But it looks like it really does exist. And how!

Stone Mountain! Twice, practically.

Lain and I hiked/wandered around the aptly named Stone Mountain Park last weekend, which I would especially recommend if you’re into things like water and leaves, like I am.

Stone Mountain water and leaves

(Look at that water! And those leaves! Beautiful.)

If you’re into the War of Northern Aggression or the War Between the States (or the Civil War to folks from my neck of the woods), I would also recommend Stone Mountain for it’s giant, crazy, temporarily abandoned carving of Confederate generals. Nutty.

Nutty, I told you.

(Our lighting technique is questionable, and thus true to form.)

If you’re more into beer than the Confederates, perhaps you would be interested in the Decatur Beer Festival, the debauchery-laden shameful step-sister of the oft-mentioned (on this blog at least) Decatur Book Festival.

I’ve had my fill of Confederates carved out of granite. Thankfully, I’m nowhere near beer capacity. See you there!

*I still don’t have an answer to this question.

    Brain teaser who are these men carved in stone and how long did it take.

    The answer is “the curvature of the earth.”
    Really now, Amelia!
