So I've been reading this book that my boss gave me called "What Happy People Know" and I must admit, at first, I thought it was bullshit. Twas a gift to him after his Dad passed away a couple months ago and he's been pimpin' it hardcore ever since. I'm generally a skeptic about that kinda crap, ya know...that books like that are enlightening or life altering but I have noticed a real change for the better in him so I finally gave in and I love it. Turns out the top two ways to be happy are to be selfless and to appreciate possibilities so I've been trying my best to adhere to these principles.
Hence- Although I have no children of my own, I know people who do so instead of missing out on the true joy of the season I glommed on to them and had a wonderful time at Stone Mountain this year.
The reason we went. One of the coolest kids of all time- LUKE.
The lights looked pretty cool at dusk.
Took this out of focus but I still like it....
Trust me, she's my friend and she hasn't been nice for shit this year.
Blurry pic of me and Luke
Parade!!!
I was all about the blue tree.
The 4D Polar Express ride was loads of fun.
Luke and an unknown fellow warrior doing battle as we waited for admittance.
Riding an "open car" train in thirty degree weather is fun and sucky all at the same time if that makes sense.
She finds a stupid hat everywhere go!
I called her mom Burgess Meredith and kept repeating "Your a bum Rock!"
NO! Christmas Beatin's! My arms aren't THAT damn big btw. 4 Layers!
I think she was a zombie and he was a Russian spy.
It really was gorgeous.
Luke found his... ahem...dream car in the parking lot as we strolled through singing Christmas carols.
Alright U people with kids,I get it and I want one. Any of U got one just lyin' around you're not using anymore? :)
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!
As a former Saturn loyalist, at one time I would've found that last photo offensive. But, since the nail has been driven in their coffin now it's just funny.
ReplyDeleteDoes Luke know he can get that same paint scheme on his dad's Jaguar (or BMW, or whatever he drives)?
I go to Stone Mt. every year in the summer for the fireworks shows, but never been for Christmas. I might try and fit that in this year.
(One year, a black gentleman from Detroit, sitting behind me, asked me who the guys carved on the mountain were.....AWKWARD!)
H - great post - love the photos - I'd hate the place, but it looked like fun for you guys
ReplyDeleteSteve - I hope that you told him "Obama"
bwahaha
Get your own (kid that is) its half the fun
ReplyDeleteSteve-hahahah..yeah man, that would be just a scoche uncomfortable. Did you educate him?
ReplyDeleteLuke changed his mind on the way to O'Charley's and decided that he would stick with a "Ford Nascar".
Hey, U should totally take the fam. It really is a blast. The best thing to do is buy the 4 person package online. I think it's $109.00 and includes 4 meal vouchers, which going by the fact that I spent seven dollars on Dorito's and a coke...it's worth it! Get there by dusk though cuz once the parking lots full, nobody gets in even if you've bought tickets.
Lerm-thanx man! And I wonder if Steve would've said Obama if it would've caused another Civil War? hehehehe.
Barnes-We've tried! Biology is a cruel whore plus we don't seem to have the 20 grand layin around to go buy (adopt) one. And call me a bitch but I don't want a discounted, 1-legged crack baby. :)
I can see O was right all these years it is StonED Mountain...someone had to have been high to put up all them lights.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say that I hope you had a Merry Christmas but it looks like you did.
ReplyDeleteTotally! Hope u and yours did as well. On my way out of town with hubby this morning to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. Yay! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a LOT of lights. Looks like a good time, though.
