Saturday, June 14, was the day we packed up and headed home. 

Dad decided to head home a different way because he wanted to make a stop near Atlanta, GA.  We stopped at Stone Moutain.

The last time we had been there, there wasn't anything there.  Just a few nature trails, and the mountain.  Now there is a bunch of little shops and basically a little town and other attractions.  We were slightly surprised.

While there we were able to see a glass blowing demonstration.  The boys were fascinated.  It was amazing to watch the transformation of the changing glass.

We also watched the smithy for a while.  It was very interesting!

We were on the road for 11 hour Saturday.  We found a motel for the night and hit the road again early in the morning.

Then the *fun* began.  We had different opinions on the correct road home, and of course Dad's was the one that counted. ::wink:: That took us a little off course, then we missed a major highway and that put us WAY off track.  According to the *trusty* map we could take XYZ road and it looked like a fairly straight shot back to where we wanted to be....WRONG.  We were TN, up on a mountain, lost. LOL  Our 10 hour drive home turned into 15!  It was a VERY long day.

I took one of Cameron's free read books for second grade and we read part of it on the way down, a chapter a night there, and finished it off on the way home.  Good thing I don't get car sick (I was reading as we were going up the switch back turns of the mountain in TN.  ROFL)
