Conquering the Mountain

Before we came home from our Easter vacation, we climbed Kennesaw Mountain in Georgia. One mile, straight up. Fun for the whole family! Including my mother and the dog!

There's a trail up the side of the mountain, or you can walk up the paved road. We hiked straight up the mountain and then came down the road. It was a beautiful day! At the top of the mountain (where we've been several times, but didn't know this tidbit), there's graffiti from the Civil War. One says, "Prepare to Meet Thy God" and the other is a name. Pretty cool! More info here in case you're ever in the area.

Chico hiked up the whole way and walked the whole way down. Good dog!

Afterward, we went to eat at Mountain Biscuits. They are delicious and totally worth checking out! I had a chicken biscuit (so I could share the chicken with the dog).  

We did pretty well eating clean this weekend...except the cupcakes...and Steve might have accidentally popped a brownie in his mouth...so I'm grilling chicken and sweet potatoes to make it through the week! Also on the menu tonight, peach strawberry vinaigrette.
