Go Tigers! I mean go War Eagle! Wait, I'm confused Auburn. Are you Tigers or Eagles? One thing is certain, the Auburn campus is beautiful.
The trip to Auburn wouldn't be complete without stopping at the famous Toomers Corner and getting some lemonade. And yes, I'm all red and look like I ran a marathon because it's fa-reaking hot here. I should really be used to this hellish humid heat by now.

Dave's parents are visiting from Utah this week and I am so thrilled to have company! In the past we have spent summers living in the Carolinas, Boston and even New York where there are endless things to see and do. I had to warn them that Alabama may not have quite as much to offer. With that said, our first destination was to.....(drum roll) the First White House of the Confederacy. I told you there wasn't much out here.
Fun Fact: President Jefferson Davis only lived here in the spring of 1861 and then the Confederate Capital moved to Richmond, VA.
We then wandered over to the state capitol building. Did you know that the civil rights march for voting rights (led by Martin Luther King) ended right here on these pearly steps? I'm full of fun facts.
Such a good little tourist.
