Hiking Stone Mountain

Alex and I went hiking at Stone Mountain State Park today.  Stone Mountain is a six hundred foot granite dome that formed as wind and water eroded the softer layers of the granite block.  We picked the four and a half mile strenuous trail to conquer today and are now super sore and tired.  The weather was beautiful and the mountain was unlike anything we have seen before.  The majority of the surfaces were smooth from erosion.  We had awesome views of the surrounding mountains and finished the hike with a pretty waterfall.  It has been so fun living close to all of these amazing hiking trails.  Stone Mountain is only an hour and a half away from our house. It was a great way to spend a sunny spring day!

 The views were amazing.
    
This was LB's second in utero hike!  The first was back in Asheville when she was only five weeks gestation!
    
  
 We can't wait to bring Harper hiking in our baby carrier!
