2009 May 2nd: Deona and I went up to Stone Mountain State Park and we took the tram up to the top. We hiked around on top and sat down for awhile and watched the clouds roll by. It was cloudy, so cloudy that we were unable to see the downtown area of Atlanta, GA. Stone Mountain is a huge granite boulder that sticks way up out of the ground and is the highest point in Georgia. We stayed longer than we should have but still we reluctantly left to go to someplace better.
I had done some research on orchid growers in the south and the name that kept coming up was a place called Peach State Orchids. We really wanted to go and check out some flowers. I was seriously overwhelmed by the sheer volume of plants that they had. We spent a long time there just looking and taking pictures and talking to the owners.
When we left, we went out to dinner and then back to Deona’s for the evening. It was a full and rewarding day.
