The Day after Christmas the Atlanta Braves signed Bradley Cooper.
An amazing event in sports and entertainment history.
He cannot wait for Spring Training!
(Thank you Aunt Ellyn for the new jersey!)
When I first met Coop he didn’t lift his leg to pee, he just squatted (like a girl) but my boy is growing up. Not only did he lift his leg on our walk this morning, but he did it three times. Proud Mom, yes!
Although, one of the neighbors introduced him to the delicacy of cat poop treats. Not mentioning any names, okay? Addie Butts….So, trying to discourage this new fun treat.
Who me?
Coop and I decided to go off the trail today and this is what we saw.
Lots of graffiti.
and more graffiti
oh wait there was even more graffiti.
But if you look closely, it is really some cool artwork. Then we went down to the creek.
It was really nice out today.
Then we had to get back to the trail.
Up this little hill, and then we found it.
It was a great day for exploring.
can you see the chimney?
This is where the original Decatur water works were like a million years ago. Now it’s just ruins or canvas for graffiti. There are a lot more trails off the trail so new adventures await. Coop was really pooped afterwards. 
Fall is in the air and I love Mason Mill Park. There is the Garden.
They have a senior center and a great playground that is always crowded.
Coop loves it!
Then we headed down the trail.
Here is some of the colorful graffiti. I will try and get some photos of some more of it. Anyway, then there is this tree….
this tree sticks its tongue out at me every time we pass it. To continue our walk, we decided to go off trail, on a very safe looking trail.
Oh whoops before we went off trail we spotted a turtle.Now off trail,
this is where we went. It went along the railroad track.
It ends out here….
In the neighborhood. which way should I go?
This is a fairly new trail and kinda just down the street from us. The name pretty much explains it all. It starts at Cheshire Bridge Road and ends at LaVista, or vice versa.
Coop really likes this trail.
The trail goes along the creek and the expressway, so as far as peaceful, not so much.
Cool bridge crosses the river.
It’s about a mile long.
This is where it ends or begins!
The day after Music Midtown is not the best day to take a walk in the park. Staycationers be aware! The weather was absolutely lovely. Bradley Cooper enjoyed it!
Coop got lots of attention, that made him happy!
Sad to see the empty beverage stands.
It really is a beautiful park.
Let me know which park you enjoy on your Staycation!
