Photo Friday: Auburn, AL

April 20, 2012 by Caroline 1 Comment

I came across old photos on my hard drive and couldn’t help but share them. I miss these spur of the moment road trips I used to take around the South and am looking to re-live them.

In summer of 2006, my friend Christine and I went to visit our other friend Elizabeth at Auburn University. I remember getting lemonade from Toomer’s Corner to cool down from the August heat.

Alabama gets a bad rap, by myself included, but Auburn is a fun little town if you know a student or alum there.

It’s all very Old South, with buildings dating back hundreds of years and families with every generation of students attending the university. And that doesn’t even mention the Auburn football reputation. Samford Hall, above, is the most famous landmark.

After a fun few days hanging out at a university before school started, it was time to go home to prepare for my own move to Charleston.

But not before stopping to buy some of the “good” fireworks that aren’t sold in Georgia!

    I went to Auburn so this is great to see. I loved going to school there. Also Shelton Fireworks is in my hometown (well, right outside of it) so that is hilarious that you went there!
