February 19th.
Late getting started, but a decent hot breakfast at the Super 8.
Stopped at the Alabama Welcome Center (with a 280 foot tall Jupiter Rocket) and got some brochures. One was about 100 places to get some really good food in Alabama.
We saw that in Decatur (a short distance off I-65) there was a place called Big Bob Gibson's BBQ so went there for lunch. They are noted for their bbq chicken with white sauce and pies. Judging by the fact we lucked out and got parking space when somebody left, the place is quite popular with the locals. They were right about the food.
Drove on to Birmingham, where we ate at Pete's Famous Hotdogs which was in a pretty bad part of town. Still full from Big Bob's, we split a special dog, and it was worth every bite.
Drove around through some neat old neighborhoods and played NTN at Billy's, On Tap and Loco's. Then drove south of town to Alabaster where we found a BW3 in the biggest SHS shopping area we've ever seen after a lot of looking and driving around. Played NTN there as well.
Then, drove to Prattville where we got a room and went to a couple bars for drinks.
It's supposed to be in the 60s today. Back home it will get to the low thirties.
