We started our Saturday of site seeing at the Crossplex which is a volleyball, track & field, swimming & driving, and basketball arena sports complex. The Crossplex with where Brian works at when he covers sporting events (I don't have any pictures of the Crossplex). Our next stop was Railroad Park. Railroad Park is an area downtown that has been revitalized into a beautiful downtown city park and they have built a new baseball stadium right off of it for our minor league team, the Birmingham Barons. When we are at the downtown office for work Brian and I frequently go to the park for lunch at George's Boxcar Cafe.
The 3rd stop on our Saturday around Birmingham took us to the Civil Right Institute. Pictures were not allowed inside the building, but I got the sign and a flower garden in the park next to it.
The last stop on our Saturday was to Vulcan Park. The Vulcan is an icon that represents Birmingham as the city of steel. The park is built on the mountain overlooking the city. It actually give a really great view from up top.

We had a great day and topped it off back at the house with a BBQ of ribs and salmon.
