Well, it is certainly warmer today. The temp was about 40 this morning and is about mid 60's now - really quite lovely. We went downtown to the Museum of Florida History this morning. It was quite a nice small museum - it began in prehistory and then moved to paleo-indians, Spanish shipwrecks, Seminole wars, the Civil war, forestry, agriculture, early transportation (including a tin can camper built on a Model T truck body) and then finished in World War II. Their special exhibit was on Florida blues personalities and music, but we were unfamiliar with most of the highlighted personalities. The pic on the bottom (not Dave) is a mammoth found just a few miles south of Tallahassee in the 1930's. We ate lunch at the museum's Fat Sandwich Shoppe - very good and we will add the leftovers to tonight's dinner. We then drove out to the Tallahassee Automobile Museum where they featured early and classic cars as well as some other related objects. In the pic on the top, Dave is standing next to a 1931 Duesenberg which he declared was his favorite. It was quite a large museum with 2 full floors of cars, motorcycles. Dan and Alex would certainly have loved the Batmobile collection. Maybe we can include a picture or two to tomorrow's blog. We are doing a load of laundry now (will have to do another tomorrow) and then may walk over to the movie theatre after dinner.
