I have to admit that this blog post has been sitting as a draft for months now. It's one that I have been so excited about creating, but just haven't had time to shoot! This past Saturday I had nothing planned, which is pretty rare for me. I decided I was going to spend the entire day being a tourist in my own hometown and finally buckle down on getting this post finished for y'all. It ended up being the BEST day ever! I loved exploring Birmingham and even got to see a few things that I had yet to experience, even after living here all my life. I found so many cool murals and some of the best 'Instagrammable' places around town! I narrowed down my favorite spots and rounded them all up for you here! I highly suggest going to see these for yourself if you ever find yourself in the area.
