Weather: low 56 degrees, high 89 degrees, mostly clear skies
After spending the morning vegetating, we decided to take a drive north of Northport on US 43. By the time we started back home, we had made it all the way to Fayette, county seat of Fayette County, Alabama. Check out the gold dome on the courthouse. The county was formed in 1824, and was named after the Marquis de Lafayette.
Across the street from the courthouse was a county building that had these beautiful roses planted in front of it. Do you think we like flowers? Especially roses?
In front of the courthouse was a typical statue honoring the heroes of the Confederacy.
Fayette is a small town in the south that shuts down on Saturday afternoon. Check out this picture of the main street. Notice how little traffic there is. Nice little town.
The trip today was one of those that discovered a little unknown gem. Fayette may be a little hard to get to, but I'm sure it's a great place to live and raise a family.
While we were in Fayette, I happened upon the train depot. I'll write about the depot and share some pictures tomorrow.
More later, be safe.
