Huntsville Alabama

[ltstanfo]

Aside from Tigger's great suggestions, may I add the following:

1. Huntsville Botanical Garden
2. Railroad Museum and (occasional) Steam Locomotive Train ride
3. Lake Guntersville (1 hour away) fishing and boating
4. Spelunking (sp?). Much of Huntsville sits atop a vast cave network.
5. SCUBA Diving (Madison Water Park)
6. Huntsville Symphony Orchestra (HSO)
7. Concerts in the Park (Spring - Fall) by HSO
8. Jack Daniels Distillery (just under 2 hours away in Nashville)

There are more if you want to hear them. :-D

First thing I think of whenever anyone mentions Huntsville, Alabama is "Rockets"...

And that is a good association to think!  In many ways, Huntsville is the birthplace of America's space program.  When Von Braun and his team were brought to the US after WW2 they needed a place to work and ultimately, it was Huntsville Alabama.  The Redstone (later Mercury Redstone), Saturn 1 and Saturn V were designed and tested here.  The Redstone was actually manufactured here.  Huntsville is home to both the Army Aviation and Missile Command and the Marshall Space Flight Center which are co-located on Redstone Arsenal.  If rockets, missiles, spacecraft and "hi-tech" interest you, Huntsville is a good place to be. :-)

Don't suppose the residents of Huntsville have noticed a bunch of pale faced people with pointy teeth hanging around late at night?

Yeah, like others, we just call them "stupid little goths" and recognize it's just a phase.
