Woke up early and walked with Sandy's sister-in-law Vicki again at the mall! Met her husband (and Sandy's brother) Don at the Cracker Barrel! WoooWeee! An amazing gift shop in a restaurant! So fun looking around! barely sat down to eat! Jerry and I split a breakfast. I got the cream cheese stuffed french toast and he got the eggs and hash browns...love these going out to eat breakfasts.

The gift shop!!!
On our way to Stone Mountain on the east side of Atlanta we took a circuitous route seeing many beautiful neighborhoods.
Stone Mountain is a confederate memorial depicting 3 heroes of the confederacy, President Jefferson Davis, and generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. It was spectacular and something to be seen in person.! We also saw two short films there, one on the civil war and the other on how the carving was created. The red areas in the foreground of the picture is a "Snow Mountain" built as an amusement ride for the winter.
Next was the zoo! Jodi had agreed to meet us so it was Jerry and his ladies! The zoo was small by San Diego standards but had so many animals. It was great!
My personal favorite! The Meerkats!
River Otters...ahhh Riverbend
Komodo Dragon
We had a great time! Jodi and Sandy exchanging contact info.
After the soo, Jodi went to her brother's and we headed downtown to Mary Macs Tea Room. What a charming southern place. Sandy said it had been painted and really fixed up lately. Beautiful blue walls with white trim and framed photos of celebrities and cityscapes. Real southern hospitality! Each table had a jar with pencils and papers and we were to look at the menu and then write in what we wanted. Sandy said it has been done the same way since it opened after the war in 1945. The ribs and breads were fabulous!
