Hiking on Stone Mountain

What am I missing out on by living in Florida? Being able to hike up mountains like I did with Joshua and our friend Reggie at Stone Mountain in Georgia. I wore jeans, a long sleeve shirt and sandals. Yes, I obviously did NOT pack effectively for this trip. Even though it was harder for me to make sure I don't roll off the side of the cliff, it was so much fun. I just wish I was able to join Reggie ninja sprint up the rocks. 

I love being able to do nature-y things like this and being able to see for miles and miles around me when I got to the top. I have this constant battle with myself about whether or not I would be able move out of Florida and have the chance to do these things more frequently. Be closer to the mountains and the trees that change colors according to the seasons... not just the green or brown that we see here. But I don't know if I'd be able to survive winters up north. And so the battle continues.
