Oh Mama, I LOVE the Fox Theatre! DH and I saw David Gray there a few years ago and it was so beautiful!

We don't have alot of touristy type things here in N. Alabama. We have the U.S. Space and Rocket Center and lots of nature/hiking trails, rivers, lakes, etc. There are wonderful beaches down in South Alabama....

Hurricane Creek Park, Cullman, AL


Lake Guntersville, Guntersville, AL

Now a lot of neat stuff to do in East Texas, but here's a video of rafting/tubing in Central Texas. Some of the rivers are more slow moving, which are great for families with young kids, and then there are the more rapidly moving rivers that will tump your butt out, so you better know how to swim. Beautiful scenery and water, and loads of fun!

If you are into flea markets, the First Monday Trade Days at Canton is popular:

For this being such a tiny town
We get a lot of visitors from Germany.
