The Lunchbox Buddies took a recent drive down south to Montgomery, AL. We made a couple stops along the way. It's always a treat to map out a route that offers fun exits with more than a somewhat functioning bathroom at a shifty gas station. Birmingham, AL held time to visit with family. Allison was able to meet the newest member of the Birmingham bunch. It also houses Dreamland BBQ and I can tell you, it ain't bad. After Birmingham was a pit stop in Clanton, AL. Clanton is in Chilton County, which is famous for their peaches, beauty queens and interstate exit fruit stands. After the scenic tour of the giant peach water tower and some ice cream at Durbin Farms ("where life's a peach..."), it was onward to Montgomery. We stayed with my family and enjoyed a lazy weekend of playing dominoes and cards, watching old movies and tv shows and squeezing in a couple of visitor must-dos, including a visit to the art museum, romping around the grounds of a historic country church and taking in a Biscuit's game at the Biscuit Basket, Montgomery's minor league baseball stadium. Check out the video below of pictures from our time in the Heart of Dixie.

just can't wait to get on the road again
Every summer should include some sort of road trip. Nothing is sweeter than time together in a car sans personal electronic devices. You know, except finally making it to your destination and getting out of the car! But seriously, no matter how short or long the trip, having that time to just share stories, listen to old burned CDs, drink copious amounts of Mountain Dew, whatever to help pass the time...those moments always seem to be as vivid as the treasured memories made at your final destination.
