Click on the pics below to read a little about some of my trips and favorite places. There are more pics with each one, too.

Atlanta - Memorial Day 2001 Last weekend me and my mom went to Atlanta, Ga. We visited Stone Mountain Park, the Atlanta Zoo, we rode the subway, went in the Atlanta Planet Hollywood, went to the top of the Peachtree Plaza hotel, and then went to the Centennial Olympic park.

Rock Island State Park is located between Sparta and McMinnville, Tennessee, just off US 70S. It has 50 campsites with electricity and water, 2 bath houses and is open year round. There is a natural sand swimming beach on Center Hill Lake, an archery range, a general store, a hiking trail that includes a beautiful overlook over Great Falls. We went camping there in the summer of 1996. I went with my mom, Robin, Dustin and Brandi. We camped in a tent, swam on the beach (there is a playground on the beach) and hiked around some waterfalls.

We went to Maggie Valley, NC in the summer of 1996. We camped in the mountains, then visited Cherokee, NC. We saw a Native American dance show and had our pictures made with the Cherokee Indians that live in the area.

We went to the Buffalo River and camped for four days in May of 1996 and May 1999 and 2000. We like to camp at Slink Shoals, at Flatwoods, TN. It has a great beach area on the shoal and lots of places to camp. On holiday weekends, the shoal is packed with people. You can meet lots of new friends. On regular weekends, it can be private and peaceful.
