On Monday, we left for a little adventure. We drove to Red Top Mountain in the North Georgia Mountains and took a wonderful hike around Lake Allatoona. Throw in a few candy bars and juiceboxes, and you've got a great day! We had never been there, and the boys had a nice time running on the wide trails and seeing the remains of a fireplace from one of the first white settlers. It was a perfect way to stretch our legs after a couple of hours in the car. The weather was perfect!

After a full morning of experimenting with sound waves, admiring huge megalodon jaws, and other interesting things that we don't often see, we reluctantly left the Tellus Museum. After a stop at Cracker Barrel-- where Denver entertained everyone in the building with a child-sized accordian that he would NOT stop playing!!!-- we mosied home to unpack and get comfy. Spencer said he was ready to get home. I agreed. It was hard to believe we'd only been gone 36 hours!
