STAYCATION IN THE CITY: Stone Mountain Park Christmas + Evergreen Resort Recap Tuesday 10 November, 2015
I had a fun weekend as I had a mini staycation at a place which was actually my first job. Stone Mountain Park is now open for Stone Mountain Christmas for the holidays. I know we already talking Christmas? Yes we are…and it was fun getting into the spirit at Stone Mountain Park. When I worked at this park when I was 16 (many moons ago) they celebrated the holidays like no other…but doing this media preview I think they actually stepped it up at bit and I was excited to see what changed. Stone Mountain Park is a family attraction and the kids have so much to do during the holidays so I decided to bring my 3 year old cousin Monet for the experience!
The media event for Stone Mountain Christmas started with dinner! Dinner was at the park’s Campfire Grill, a campsite themed restaurant where the campvibes are indoors in this cozy and fun restaurant with food to match the mood.
Monet (my 3 year old cousin + I) cant wait to have fun at Stone Mountain Park Christmas!
This is new! Holiday Themed Funnel Cakes…I never had red velvet funnel cakes for but this was amazing! Great holiday snack for sure!
Monet really loved the Snow Angel. She literally flew over Stone Mountain Park…look don’t ask me how she did it but she did! I was shocked myself because I wasnt expecting her to fly over the stores to greet the kids with a bubble foam snow store and fireworks! It was so much fun and Monet was so excited!
This is the face of a 3 year old who didnt take nap all day!
This is the result after the 3 year had a fun-filled night at Stone Mountain Park Christmas. Lights out!
Monet doesnt want to leave the resort just yet!
After the park, we didnt go straight home…we stay at Stone Mountain Park. Stone Mountain Park has their own resort on the large attraction site called Atlanta Marriott Evergreen. We stayed in a 2 double bedroom that had a porch looking over the lake! It was really nice and cozy…and of course Monet loved the stay! She slept really good (especially because she didnt take a nap)!

I’m not sure who had more fun, you or Monet. Stone Mountain Park looks like a wonderful way to celebrate Christmas with family. Thanks for sharing the experience.
I haven’t been to Stone Mountain in years. I remember climbing to the top of Stone Mountain when I was a kid. And I don’ think I’ve ever been during the Christmas season. Looks like so much fun and those red velvet funnel cakes look delicious. Thanks for bringing back such fond childhood memories of growing up in GA.
It looks like the perfect way to celebrate the holidays. My family and I are kind of obsessed with Christmas so I know it’s something we would love to be able to experience together.
I LOVE a good staycation. One of my favorite things about living in Chicago is exporting all the city has to offer. Stone Mountain Park seems like a fun place to visit (especially during the holidays!) That holiday funnel cake looks AMAZING <3
This looks like so much fun! I love the giant bubbles, very cute. We sometimes make red velvet funnel cakes they’re so delicious and definitely look the part for the holidays!
This looks like an amazing place indeed for any child. I love the Christmas characters and all the amazing decorations along with activities. She looks adorable in the pictures for sure.
Looks like you had a great time! I love the bubbles and funnel cakes! Yum! I should try making them at home we usually only eat them during the fairs in the summer but they’d probably be fun to make at home 🙂
Oh my goodness, that looks like it was so much fun! I bet your cousin had the best time ever!! I love Christmas and finding fun ways to celebrate the holiday. I wish I lived closer, I would definitely be putting Stone Mountain on my Christmas list of things to do!
Wow, this looks like such a fun place to take the kids! I did research this place when I was looking for places to take my kids to experience some snow since we live in FL. Look like you and your little cousin had a blast!
Ok first your little one is adorable, and I love that she already knows how to get her pose on lol! This looks like a magical trip, and the food looks comforting.
You just gave me serious Christmas vibes! (December is reaaaally drawing near!) And aw you have such a cute little young one. The trip also looks absolutely enjoyable.
Woah the food looks delish. What an awesome experience for both of you. That Christmas hat is too adorable. I bet she’s going to want to go a back soon!
I love a good staycation and this one looked like lots of fun for the kiddo! The room looks great and so the location. Perfect idea for close to home fun.
[…] have my baby cousin Monet & my goddaughter Channing who got a chance to have fun at the park! Monet is now 4, as you all remember her from my blog when I took her to the park for the Christmas […]
[…] want to get into the holiday spirit I really recommend you come here with your family. I said this last year as I brought my baby cousin experience Stone Mountain Christmas but when I tell you they outdid it […]
