Tallahassee / Georgia - Diana #8

  


On Wednesday I drove up to Tallahassee with my parents to visit my sister and get a tour of FSU. My sister has been at FSU for three years now, and I have not visited her once. A visit was overdue, to say the least. The car ride is about seven hours, but my dad has to go to the bathroom almost every 60 or so miles so almost eight hours. The car ride was the dreadful part obviously. Once we got to my sister's apartment, I put my luggage inside and got situated. I was staying with my sister on Wednesday-Friday while my parents went up to Georgia. I got to live the life of a college student (corona edition) for about two days. I was able to tour FSU, and I can't even tell you how beautiful the campus was. I have always had my heart set on UF, but after seeing FSU I might be having second thoughts. Also, I stayed in the dorms at UF for volleyball, and they were nothing compared to FSU. Not only was the campus nice, but the food selection in Tallahassee. WOW. I was overwhelmed with so many great food options. Anyways, on Sunday my sister and I drove to Thomasville Georgia where my parents were staying. Once we got to Thomasville, we had a food tour at 10:45am. Wherever my family travels we always do a food tour. We do them because of course, we love food, but we also get to learn a lot about the area. My family has a pact that you have to try everything on the tour no matter what, and we had some pretty interesting things. We had shrimp and grits, cheese, pizza, fried green tomatoes, coffee, and dessert. Some food tours are better than others, but I definitely recommend doing them because they are quite an experience. Then, on Sunday we took on that seven-ish hour drive and made our way back home. I haven't been on a trip in a while, so it was nice to get away for a little bit. 

Have you ever done a food tour?? 

I attached a link to some of the best food tours around the world in case you happen to be in one of these places. 

(I did the one in Vancouver and New Orleans, and I can say those were the best ones I have been on)

  1. Hi Diana! Okay so a food tour sounds absolutely amazing! I feel like if you go to places that are known for certain foods and you like that type of food you can get really good and tasty food. Also, I can only imagine how nice it was to go somewhere and just have a break even if it involves a long drive up north. I hope you enjoyed you little break and I will definitely look into those food tours!!
