Angusho,
I live 45 mins away in Auburn, AL. I would suggest the white water rafting in Columbus. I've only heard good things about it.

There are a number of good restaurants downtown. My favorites are Plucked Up, Flip Side, and Black Cow.
Another way to cool down is by visiting Auburn's state park (45 mins away). Chewacla State Park is a gorgeous area. It includes a lake for canoeing/kayaking, fishing, hiking trails (including a awesome waterfall).
