2013 Summer Road Trip - Tallahassee

After Weeki Wachee we headed north to Tallahassee for two reasons: one, to tour our state capitol building and two, for Mackenzie to visit Florida State University.

The Florida capitol building dwarfs in comparison to the capitol in Austin but this one does have something unique. The historical capitol is actually no longer in use. Instead, our legislatures use a modern 22 story building directly behind the capitol.

The 22nd floor is composed of wall-to-wall windows which provide tourists with a 360 degree view of Tallahassee and 25 miles beyond. Mackenzie was able to get her first glance at the FSU campus.

After the captiol we landed on Seminole territory.

You would think that Mason would get bored touring different campuses. Luckily, he enjoys the stadiums.

Have we seen the last of Tallahassee? I'm not so sure, Mackenzie was very impressed with the university. The city, well, not so much! Next post: The Big Easy
