Weekend in the South!

For Adam's 30th Birthday we wanted to do something fun and if you know him he is a HUGE college football fan. So, we decided to go to a college football game (not a Texas A&M game). He decided on the Auburn vs. Georgia game in Auburn, Alabama. We flew into Birmingham, Alabama and saw some of the sights and stayed in Birmingham Friday night. Then, we drove to Auburn, Alabama to watch the game and see the Auburn campus. Saturday night after the game we drove to Montgomery, Alabama. We woke up Sunday morning and saw some of the historical sights in the capital of Montgomery and then we drove to Tuscaloosa, Alabama to see the University of Alabama campus. To conclude our road trip we drove back to Birmingham to the airport. We had a really good time and Alabama is a beautiful state. We loved seeing fall foliage, you don't see that too often in Texas, especially in San Antonio.

My great-grandmother's first cousin was Bear Bryant! I love the Auburn campus. It's so pretty and I have become an Auburn fan over the years thanks to my soon-to-be brother-in-law.
