Boy have we been busy sightseeing in Georgia. Our first excursion was to Eatonton, the hometown of Joel Chandler, who wrote the famous Uncle Remus stories about Brer Rabbit. We went to the Uncle Remus cabin and, as you can see, I got my picture taken with a statue of Brer Rabbit. In the background you can see Uncle Remus' cabin. We have toured around Eatonton, Greensboro and Madison viewing the history and seeing some beautiful antebellum homes along Georgia's Antebellum Trail. Greensboro is a town that has been burned down twice, once by Indians and then by General Sherman on his march through Georgia. Madison is the only town Sherman did not burn down on his march to the sea. A friend lived in Madison so Sherman spared it.
We spent today in Atlanta where we visited Stone Mountain, the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield Park and the Martin Luther King Jr National Historic site. As Mom and Dad always do, they took a picture of the graves of MLK and his wife to go in their Historic Grave album.
Sunday we are going to Augusta so I get to play with Emma and David. Later friends.........
