Cheaha Mountain

Alabama

December 2012

Egypt's first state Highpoint:

As we arrived, we found Cheaha Mountain surrounded by clouds

Napping

The rain and clouds made the easy drive to the summit a little challenging

Summit of Alabama

(We were getting out either way, but didn't mind that the rain stopped for a few minutes)

Overlook near the summit

As we left, this is the same vantage point as the first picture

Egypt enjoying the "mingos"

Egypt's eyes had tears from the cold wind while riding the train. At one point, Egypt looked at me and explained the tears as: "daddy, my face isn't working right".

Egypt taking a picture of a baby orangutan:

Egypt made three new friends while riding the train. They were visiting the zoo on a high school field trip. I let Egypt walk with them to see the monkeys and elephants. While in the monkey house, the girl's teacher caught up with them and they introduced Egypt as their new friend from the train. The teacher got very concerned thinking the girls had let Egypt wander away from her parents. I was standing about 10 feet away at the time. The girls quickly pointed to me and explained that I was Egypt's father. The teacher sighed with great relief.
