If you ever pass thru Mobile, Alabama, take the time to stop at Bellingrath Gardens. Walter Bellingrath was one of the original Coca-Cola bottlers. He purchased land along the Fowl River. His wife decided to create the gardens. He later decided to build their home on the site.
There are 3 parts to the tour --- the acres and acres of gardens (very pretty); the home (well done with lots of antiques and surprisingly modern appointments); and a riverboat tour of the Fowl River (lots of native wildlife). The whole tour took about 4 hours.
Here’s a link to some pictures (an aside to my son, Rob --- I’ve decided to put the pictures of the museums and such on Snapfish and the baseball stadiums on Flickr so I don’t exceed the download limits on each site):
