Ugh, Raleigh?!?!...Really!?! Eight inches of snow on Christmas day?!?! Now, that was a huge surprise. I can hardly recall ever seeing a snowfall in December and never a "White Christmas". Can't say I thought it would happen but was definitely nice change.
The day after Christmas it was off to Atlanta. We went there to visit my wife's family. It was great seeing them and since I had my camera...well....I had to go get some shots in! A family friend took me to a cemetery to do some shooting. Yeah, I know. I thought is was weird too! But is was actually pretty interesting. We went to Oakland Cemetery which is the oldest in the city. Over 70,000 people are buried there. It's one the only cemeteries from that time that had the wealthy, poor, white and black, buried in the same place. Some notables are Bobby Jones (golfer), Maraget Mitchell Marsh (Author, Gone with the Wind), and Rev. Frank Quarles (helped establish Spelman College). Too many interesting facts to list, so look for yourself at www.oaklandcemetery.com.
