Rob--

Stone Mountain is an awesome place! The laser show is the best I've ever seen!

I'd been there a couple of times before I got married. My wife & I spent one night there at the inn near the carving on our honeymoon. I was eager for her to see the laser show, though she was more blase' about it, & simply refused to hurry to get a spot on the lawn, thus causing us almost to miss it. However, once the show started, her jaw dropped & she sat in almost stunned silence for the duration.

We've since been back several times. (As an aside, we found out after our honeymoon that my wife's grandparents had gone to Stone Mountain, and seen the original Confederate memorial carving. Rob't E. Lee's head & hat were all that were completed at the time--early 1930s. Her granddaddy wanted to know if "they'd ever finished it." He had one of the silver half-dollars minted there as a souvenir. )

Is Mama Mia's Italian restaurant still on the main street in the Village of Stone Mountain? How about Chili Chompers? Mama Mia's was one of the best Italian restaurants we've found, & Chili Chompers was a specialty hot-sauce & pepper item store.
