I picked up Luke from the Atlanta airport. He was gone on a business trip, and so it worked out that he was flying through ATL anyways. Grayson is a beautiful town. I had been to the house that Luke's family lived in in high school, but I had never seen the home he lived in until age 14 that was a couple of towns over. We went to see the house, and I must say that it was one of the literally 3 times that I have seen Luke be sentimental (I am extremely sentimental, so he balances me out). The home was beautiful. We also hiked through some woods by his house to find a hidden waterfall he would always play in as a kid with his dad and siblings. This was not a planned hike, so we did it in Luke's business clothes and my not-for-hiking clothes. But it was very fun and absolutely beautiful!
The next morning, we went for a run at Tribble Mill where Luke would always run with his XC and track team in high school. Laura came with us on a very rainy run.
That afternoon, Luke and I headed to Stone Mountain. I have heard story after story from Luke about Stone Mountain. His family would go often. But you don't really appriciate it until you are there. The Atlanta region is pretty flat. But suddenly, there is this GIANT piece of granite that just sticks out of the ground. We had a lot of fun hiking it. This time, at least I was prepared to hike. I kept telling Luke that it was going to rain again and that he needed to bring his rain jacket. Of course, I did not listen. So as we hiked back down the mountain as it poured and poured, I had a smug grin on my face as Luke cold and soaked, while I was warm and dry :)
