Today was also a Tacoma day. We went to the Glass Museum. Where they had a lot of pieces by Dale Chihuly, a local glass artist whos actually famous. And does tremendously huge work, like the bridge of glass. Which is not actually a bridge made of glass. Its a regular bridge with large works in it. Like this, you walk through a tunnel and the ceiling is glass and you can see through, its supposed to be like looking up through the ocean.
But first we had to park a ways away ffrom the museum. And I discovered that, even with his extensive injuries, Ron followed me all the way to Washington.
Turns out that you're not allowed to take pictures in the museum. So I won't have any pictures of the glass in the museum. They had an exhibit with glass art with inspiration taken from the Native American tribes in the area. All of them were gorgeous, one was imitating wood and bone...and it did look like wood and bone. There was also another exhibit about glass in general. the different ways of forging, molding, and cutting. How its colored, cut, and blown. Its not a very big museum, but they have something called, The Hot Shop. Which is a glass blowing studio built into the museum where they give demonstrations. We all sat in the heat and watched for about half an hour. Abby and meagna had to pull away from it. I wonder if there are any teaching studios in Iowa. ;)After that meagan showed us ONE of Tacom's TEN libraries. Again very awesome. Supper. More Supernatural. Bed.
Tuesday the 28th
Happt Birthday Dad! Today was spent in Seattle. First stop, the Space Needle. O_o! Very high up! 605 feet up and I was weak in the knees. But the view was spectacular.
Next was Seattle's 10 story public library. Once again, amazing.
On the way back to the car we especially had some fun. And it was necessary, the high of today was 100. So we found a good fountain to play on the way back to the car.
