Jessica and Dad at the Stone Mountain Historic Square

Tomorrow the girls go back to school after their two-week-long Christmas break. Jessica and I wanted to do something on this last day, so we took Elyse to Granny and Pa's house and then went to Stone Mountain to walk around in and take pictures of "the old houses," as Jessica calls the Historic Square (which, up until a couple of years ago, was called the Plantation).

Here are a few of the pictures I took there:

I would really love a study like the one above someday, though preferably without the magnolia leaf garland they hang at Christmastime.

The stairs at the end of the above hall go to the attic, which is closed off to the public and which I would really love to be able to go up and see.

Hey, look: Jessica's smiling! She doesn't always do that when she knows someone's taking a picture. (Not that I believe you always have to smile when your picture is taken.)

We didn't enter.
