Wednesday - Thursday - FSU College Tour

Wednesday, AA and I drove to Tallahassee to see the "town", get familiar with the FSU campus and have a good nights sleep, ready for the Thursday 8:30 a.m. tour.

Crowds boarding these FSU buses (No idea what was going on).

We arrived in town, drove around the State Capital building, then to the FSU campus to find the welcome center. AA wanted to check out a State Park - Maclay, just north of Tallahassee, 3540 Thomasville Rd, Tallahassee, FL 32309, A MASTERPIECE OF FLORAL ARCHITECTURE AND RICH HISTORY and the Maclay house. We enjoyed walking to the lake pavilion, to the house, the secret garden, the rows of camellias and azaleas.

After dinner at Pedros (near hotel - Courtyard Marriott); ate nachos loco/supreme:

We changed into bathing suits, enjoyed the pool, then showers, then push ups, then TV (not much selection) then BED! Hotel room - two full beds, separate LR, two TV's.

The tour was good, shortened due to a heat advisory, so did not see the common green and library. The Bellamy building is for AA's major (under pre-law/political science).

Model dorm room:

We agreed the campus is very nice, the city of Tallahassee is a step up from UF/Gainesville; UF wouldn't show us a dorm room, FSU did have a "model" for us to view. Overall academics probably equal, application process, scholarships, offer studying abroad, internships, 700+ clubs, etc. I think FSU may be a better fit for AA.

We drove home rather than continue exploring the city. Arrived home to pick up Ford from his appointment, AA drove her car home. All is well at home!
