White Dogwood Blooms 

What a beautiful day for a walking tour of Twickenham. With every step we took, we learned about the early settlers of Huntsville. 

It was steeped in history from the early 1800s.

It felt like we were walking in a botanical garden with all the colorful azaleas and pink and white dogwood trees in full bloom. The aroma of lilac filled the air from the Lilac bushes and tulips with shiny white faces. Music filled the air with chirping Robins, Blue Jays, Finches, and Woodpeckers.

After the tour, we rode to Bridge Street Centre, stopping at the Cheesecake Factory for lunch.
