We enjoyed touring downtown Tallahassee and the state Capitol Complex. The Old Capitol and New Capitol buildings occupy the same complex. It was interesting to see the old, traditional building and compare it to the modern 22-story building where the state business moved in 1979. The photo shows the Old Capitol with the New Capitol in the background.
We also toured the Florida Governor's Mansion. It is in an area with dense trees so it was hard to get a good photo. Click the link above to see a virtual tour and more. Here is a photo of "Florida's Finest" sculpture from the grounds.
Most of the parking in this area is in parking garages. Walt always said he could park anywhere a car could -- except for the height. Here is a photo of his parallel parking. We took up exactly one parking space and he had no trouble getting in or out. There were some amazed stares as he maneuvered into the space only a block from the Capitol Complex.
