Day 32 - Tallahassee, Florida

Day 32 (27 July). We had a lovely drive from Pensacola Beach to Tallahassee, though unfortunately Andrea may have eaten a dodgy oyster last night because she had an upset tummy most of the day and slept whilst the kids and I visited the Tallahassee Automobile Museum. She is feeling better now though she is tired.

Florida's capital city has an outstanding automobile museum which is simply a must-see. I'm not a car-nut in anyway, shape or form, but I couldn't help but get excited about the journey down memory lane. Not just because of the breadth of automobiles, but also the extensive sporting memorabilia; fine pianos (five steinways, including the Alma-Tadema the world's most expensive new piano ever built); historical boats; old outboard motors; motor-cycles; guns; knives; early 1900's type-writers; the list of things goes on. It was brilliant.

They had the original Batmobile from the TV series, the Batmobiles featured in 'Batman Returns' and 'Batman Forever' and the 1948 Tucker Torpedo actually used in the movie 'Tucker'. The muscle cars were all there such as a 1963 Corvette valued over $3 million. They have some of the rarest cars in the country and the place is unbelievable. You can spend hours there. The museum really is a must see and you can view them at www.tacm.com for a list of the cars.

Next stop - Orlando, Florida. Yep, the kids are very excited. We have eight nights inside the Walt Disney World complex. We will also be visiting the new Harry Potter World at Universal Studios (which I think they are most excited about).
