Wow! What a day, what a trip! The children were very excited for this field trip, eager to see all that our state's capital had to offer. We saw so many wonderful sites, and learned so much about our great state! I know the children will enjoy learning even more about everything that we saw as we go through our year of Alabama History.
Here is our day in pictures...
