Day #5- Sweet Home Alabama

Ya, ya, I know that everyone has different feelings regarding the new legislation on abortion in Alabama.  At this point, a few wont like my song title of "Sweet Home Alabama" as things are none too sweet for some here right now.  But oh well.  My blog, my songs!  I always have song titles and this happens to be one of the all time greatest songs- both the Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Kid Rock versions. 
Here we sit, hunkered down from the rain in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.  We left Vicksburg and headed on down the road to Alabama.  We enjoy exploring college campuses and wanted to see the University of Alabama and all of its "Roll Tide" glory.  The campus was pretty dead with it being summer.  We did manage to spend a lot of time and money in the college bookstore.  The campus is beautiful.   Of course we had to find the stadium and hoped to run into Nick Saban.  He didnt appear to be at work today, but we got some pics of the stadium.  An old cemetery is across the street from the football field.  It interested us, but might creep out potential recruits. We found the "6th Street" of Tuscaloosa and wanted to have lunch at a local spot.  Turns out, half the restuarants have limited summer hours and were closed.  We found an open place called "Moes".  It turned out to be a lesser version of Freebirds.  A mexican place called "Moes".  That's different.
We were planning on driving on to Birmingham, but the storms once again caught up to us and had better ideas.  We pulled off the highway and got a room.  Weather allowing, we have some haunted adventures planned for tomorrow,  so stay tuned.
