Stone Mountain Cabin Rentals

*shameless plug*

S calls and says, "Where do you want to go on vacay?" 
Me:  "Vacay?  What's that?"
S:  "I'm taking a week off after Thanksgiving.  Where you wanna go?"
Me:  "Um....I don't know."

Mass emails and several links later, we decide to go to Stone Mountain.  Conveniently, there are cabin rentals MINUTES from the state park where we can bring the Missy Girl!!  *happy dancing*  AND they're NOT an arm and a leg!!  *more happy dancing*  So we rented a cabin from Stone Mountain Cabin Rentals.  Cliche...I know. 

As usual, we are always up early.  That's just what happens when we go to bed at 9pm.  We lounged, drunk coffee, lounged some more...  Then showered, packed up the car, grabbed the dog and headed out.  We were on the road an hour earlier than planned.  There is only so much lounging one can do before a road trip to start a vacay.  We hit McD's for breakfast and then 66W.  Missy settled into her bed and off we went.

Mapquest IS NOT always right.  Just saying.  It wanted us to turn left onto the road to the cabin, but it's a right.  PSA.  Of course, we arrived an hour earlier than anticipated (and check in time).

We arrived here:

Okay...we have an hour to kill and food to get for the week.  So, out came the phones and mass googling ensued to find a grocery store.  You know you're in the countrywhen you have to drive at least 10-15 miles for a grocery store.  There are numerious convenience/gas stations that all themselves "grocery" stores, but that's like buying chops from 7-11.  I just can't and it's not cheap.  Howeer, they all sell pizza...and cheap pizza at that.

We hit the "local" Food Lion.  I got subs for lunch and we went back to "check in."  It's quaint.  S pointed out how the cabin in SC was so much better.  I had visions of us leaving early because it was unbearable.  I think it's cure and "couch" is horrid.  It's a futon, but it's better than no couch at all.  The ned is hard, but it's not unbearable.  The "stove" is two  electric burners.  There's a grill, but we couldn't get the charcoal to light, so for dinner we fried the chops, roasted potatoes in the toaster oven and had green beans.  We hit the sack early to get ready for our 4.5 hike the next day.
