TALLAHASSEE

For the last couple of weeks we have been planning a trip to Tallahassee. We left Sunday afternoon and drove an 1 and 1/2 hours through pine trees and more pine trees and more pine trees to Tallahassee. Pine trees are a major crop here.



Our hotel has complementary hot breakfast and a complementary cocktail hour. (soda, wine, beer, party mix, and fresh baked chocolate chip cookies)



Today we drove to the Gulf of Mexico. (35 miles from Tallahassee) A lot of water and sand. It was nice to look at, but I wouldn't want to be out on the water.



The neatest thing we saw were the houses on stilts. They were 10 to 15 feet in the air and then 1, 2, or 3 stories high. These houses were right on the water. It might be a nice place to live, but I wouldn't want to be there in a storm and defiantly not in a hurricane. There was a campground right on the water also. No way would I camp there.



Monday we went to the museum of Florida History, but will tell you about it in another blog. Wednesday we're going shopping and to an old mission. Will tell you about it later.



Wednesday we're getting a surprise visit from someone. You'll have to wait and see?????????
