Blokus

Got the game for christmas.. So we had a few challenges Handed to us.. Leah pretty much took us to the cleaners on the 1st round.. Not so lucky in the next round...there is always tomorrow!

Jack Daniels distillery

So lightening didn't struck in Alabama.. So we moved right up the road to Lynchburg, TN... Toured jack Daniels distillery... This isn't like a wine tour...NO sampling.. Intriguing to me this product is produced in a dry county.. Seems strange!! It was fascinating process.. It was Sunday so you can't buy the product even if you could drink it

1st baptist church of Huntsville

That's right I said church!! No, I haven't completely flipped my lid... Anyone that knows me well.. Knows I LOVE gospel music.. I was hoping to sneak in the back row of a baptist church in Alabama & find just that... Not sooo lucky.. Can't blame a girl for trying

NaSA

Pretty cool day in Huntsville, alabama.. Did you know this has been a testing site since the 60's? Me neither!! We did all things rockets & space today.. Mostly indoors.. Good news.. It was freakin freezing ( actually snowing) today

Snow in Al?!

It was warmer in Juneau than Huntsville Al. Good day at space center.

Hanging here for a day or so tour today Saturday. Appearently last year a group of missle protesters from ALASKA stayed at our RV park and raised a ruckus over at the museum. 
Since this is government stuff it was a big deal for the RV manager et al. " We're keeping an eye on you Northerner's ....     Boy!"
