In Which I Went to Birmingham

Part One

Hi all!

We had a wonderful trip to Birmingham, Alabama, a couple weekends ago. On the first day, Mark and Steven exhibited their creation with their friend Max while Mama and Daddy and I toured the Birmingham Botanical gardens and went to the Mall. I'll be sharing the photos I took at the gardens in another post.

On day two, my parents and I joined the boys in the convention center to soak up all the sights and sounds and explore the LEGO creations.

Okay, to catch some of the crazy excitement and LEGO-ness we enjoyed, watch this:

(I helped Mark put the video together.) :)

Me and the LEGO creation! I got tired after walking around the exhibit hall and begged a seat next to the boys  behind their table. :D 

A random shot of downtown Birmingham... because you have to take pictures out the car windows when you're on vacation. :D We saw lots of tall buildings - a novelty for this girl, 'cause I live in the country. :D 

Mama and Daddy and I found Birmingham really easy to navigate compared to Atlanta. There was much less traffic and it actually seemed pretty quiet. 

I liked this "Cityville" sign on a contemporary-styled apartment complex.

An old house right next to a brand new building that looked like it was formed from a chunk of glass!

I even saw a castle!! LOL - I have no idea what this building was.

Also, bridges, bridges everywhere. 

And an old Jewish Temple, right across the street from a Mormon church.  Massively impressive.

Stay tuned for part 2!
