I'm researching Law Schools.... so the Husband and I decided to take a trip to FSU's School of Law and the State Capitol of Florida. The town itself is unlike our home in Central Florida. They actually have hills. Being that Mike and I are use to walking on flat surface, trudging up a giant hill was brutal, but we survived. We got lost several times in this town, and ended up going round and round in circles for what seemed like hours. We did however get to visit some really neat places (for free), and try The Mellow Mushroom Pizza.
Our first stop was the historic Capitol. Very cool, it had lots of neat exhibits about the history of Florida's government. We toured the historic state senate and the original Florida Supreme Court (Which sent my legal heart a flutter). We laughed at the exhibit on the 2000 election debacle which held special meaning to the two of us because it was the first election that we had both ever participated in.

After that, we set out to view the Museum of Florida History. It was very cool and contains a mammoth skeleton, steamer ship, and a complete exhibit regarding war veterans. We found the exhibit on the St. John's River very sweet, because it is the life blood of Central Florida.
Before we headed out of town, we drove by Gov. Rick Scott's mansion. The way that is is situated and with all the guards, we decided to stay in the car and take pictures.
I will say that Tallahassee is a very unique city, I don't think it is the town for us. The panhandle is totally different from Central Florida!
