Funday Monday

Paul had spent 10 days on a business trip in Chicago, so he understandably took the day off of work today for our epic day of fun.

We had lunch at Kuk's in downtown Tuscaloosa, a Chicago-style lunch spot that serves hot dogs, sausage, and Italian beef among other things.  Paul had eaten all of these things while on his trip, but apparently didn't get enough.  I had my first ever Italian beef sandwich...mmm.  We will be going back.

We decided to leave our car at Kuk's and walk down the hill to the Tuscaloosa Riverwalk.  Unfortunately, sidewalks are either damaged or non-existent and there are no crosswalks.  The only pedestrians we passed on the way to the river were crackheads or heading to AA.  The Riverwalk is gorgeous but it would be wonderful if it was more accessible from downtown.

Where's the sidewalk?

On our way back to our car we stopped at the new municipal park in downtown T-Town.

The lovely not-for-kids-to-play-in fountain.

Paul loves climbing trees.  More about that tomorrow.

After all of that walking we were in need of some fro-yo. 

We decided to check out the new Bryant-Denny Stadium expansion and ended up breaking and entering.  For real.  The door was unlocked and we walked right in.

All of this fun is exhausting.
