I wandered over to Birmingham to visit the cousins for a day. Their parents were in from California, try not to pass up a chance to see the distant relatives.

After a wonderful lunch at their home, we headed over to the Sloss Furnace National Historic Landmark which is … awesome and stunning. Awesome in how you can get up close to this century-old structure and stunning in how you’re not required to show a proof of tetanus shot before entering.
