We weathered the storm!!!

Tuesday, April 5, 2011

WOW!  What a night - WIND - RAIN - THUNDER - LIGHTENING - POWER OUTAGES - TORNADO'S!  We were just fine, because Mom and Dad parked the trailer in a very protected spot - behind Stone Mountain!  But, we sure had a light show last night.  Mom and I watched the lightening, while Dad slept!  He can sleep through ANYTHING!  The news just reported that there was $32 million in damages from this storm and six people were killed, and it was just an overnight event!  Most of the damage was from trees being blown over because the ground was so wet, and downed power lines.  We had to take a detour to get to Doggie Daycare today!   Rita at "The Park Pet Retreat" (www.theparkpetretreat.com) is really nice and I had a great time for the last three days - they don't put you in a cage at this place and you can play inside or go outside.  Mom is hoping I sleep really good tonight, because I was up most of last night (so was she) and I played all day today with my new friends while Mom and Dad went the the Georgia Aquarium.  Mom got a lot of pictures of the fishes and they had a good time.  Mom said that this is the BEST aquarium that she had ever seen - it was almost like diving with the fishes - and they will let you do that if you are a certified diver!

Oh, and yesterday, Mom and Dad finished going through Stone Mountain Park.  They went through Antebellum Plantation, the Grist Mill and the Quarry.

Look at this!

Tomorrow, Mom is going to do LAUNDRY and Dad is going to do the TAXES!  I thing I'm going to find a quite place and take a NAP!!!  Then on Thursday, we are heading to the Smokey Mountains!  (We will have to  move on before the camera lens is fixed!)
