]]> hall of fame If you are anywhere near Titusville, Florida, you just might want to check out the American Police Hall of Fame and Museum. If you are planning a crime or mystery novel, you might be able to use a lot of this stuff. Inside, you will find some pretty gruesome crime scene photos, and if you have ever wondered what an electric chair looks like… they have one of those on display!

You can book yourself a session in the gun range with instruction thrown in as well. (See The Big Ticket Below)

Obviously, this is not your average museum and the perfect place to do a bit of research! But if you aren’t near Titusville, Florida, check in our own home town. There are zillions of exhibits that usually pass by the people who actually live in the area. We usually leave the museums and touristy stuff for vacationers! To be honest, I can’t remember the last time I visited our own city’s museum!

“Admission
Adults: $12
Kids 4-12: $8
Senior Citizens & Military: $8
Law Enforcement Officers: Free*
Family Survivors: Free
Members: Free*

* Guests – Half Price

BIG TICKET
If your looking for some major excitement then you want the BIG TICKET! The BIG TICKET is only $40 per person and features museum admission, 50 rounds of 9mm action in the gun range with free instruction and a 150 mile per hour helicopter ride! The BIG TICKET is available Tues. thru Sat. Museum admission, gun range activities and helicopter rides may each be purchased individually”

]]> Just got in late last night, so for the next ten days or so, I plan to soak up the culture. But I have a great restaurant to tell you about… it’s called Islands and although we had to wait for ever to get a table, the wait was worth it. I had a Hawaiian Hamburger and I simply couldn’t finish it. I have never seen a hamburger that big! And you don’t order one serving of french fries, you order them by the bucket to share.

And oh yes… the weather was amazing. We left -10C weather and while I was too tired to inquire what the temperature was last night, we are back to tank tops and flip flops. Doesn’t get much better than that.

I will try to log in later today with an update of what I saw. What it will be at this point I haven’t a clue, but I trust that I will enjoy every minute of it!
