The third running in the state of Alabama of open wheel racing is scheduled for the weekend of March 30-April 1, 2012. The Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama promises to match and exceed the excitement of the last 2 years raced which were attended by 85,000 plus fans from all over the world. Honda has signed a contract extension, which will continue the race as a sponsor through 2013. This race is really run well, with buses that run continuously during the day and evening while racing and gazing are "Goin on". Plenty of friendly security and a great atmosphere for kids. Carry plenty of sunscreen. One would not want another to accuse you of being a true Alabama redneck, soley upon the evidence of a lack of 50 spf.

The Shops of Grand River have been opened for 3 plus years now and are a perfect blend between the shopping "lookin around" at the Bass Pro shop and the incessant need to explore the many upscale outlet shops of Grand River. The Nascar wives are excited about a chance to spend their money on something other than racing memorabilia. - Shopping heaven in Leeds Alabama...who'd a thunk it?
Bass Pro shops of course, is perched (forgive the pun) high on the hill between Barbers Motorsports Park and The Shops of Grand River and wants you to "cast" more than a glance their way at one of the largest outdoors' stores in the nation.
All you need now is someplace relaxing, quieter and with a great bed and a 2.5 mile view from the front porch of the lake that will complement the fun that was had during the day-just save enough energy for some romance.---River Rest Bed, Breakfast and Beyond---is only 30 minutes away.
Richard's Remarks:
We are in the full swing of what is supposed to be winter - in Alabama, we still have days that average 55 to 64 and most of them are sunny. The days are great for a light coat and a brisk walk near the river and through the woods and grandma is not even expecting you. Could you hang out here are River Rest and hear the quietness of only the lake sounds - without airplanes flying over, booming bass stereo, no children big or small saying Mommie this and Mommie that? Let go of the normal world and enter into a rest that is on this side of heaven and allow the only sounds you hear be that of your own special someone telling you how much they adore you. Whoop, there it is! (and here I promised no boom)
How about a Valentines' weekend. Hmmmmm!
Privacy is one of the key amenities at the bed and breakfast. All five guest rooms have private baths and none share so much as a wall with another. Although the B&B offers guests a number of activities, 
they often find it hard to leave their rooms. All of the king-size beds feature Simmons Beauty Rest mattresses with pillow tops. That comfort, combined with high-thread-count linens, make oversleeping a common occurrence at River Rest Bed and Breakfast.
River Rest Bed and Breakfast is conveniently located near Birmingham, Alabama (less than an hour) and less than two hours from Montgomery and Huntsville.
