Today we had a really fun break from all our packing. We took a field trip to The Tacoma Glass Museum with my friend Susan & her son ( My son's BF ) Jonathan. We have talked for the last year 1/2 taking the trip. Well, you know how life goes, passing us by in a flash. We put it off and decided to take the trip together as a last FUN DAY in Washington before our big move. 
The drive is a bit over an hour from where we live. Once you enter Old Tacoma you see these remarkable sculptures and glass on a bridge. Then you see this huge metal structure in the shape of a cone and wonder. What in the world that is. Well, it's the Museum !!!
The building is actually larger than just the cone. Really the cone doesn't mean anything at all, it's all for ART Sake. Yet inside the cone is where they house the glass making studio. The inside structure is amazing. We felt like we were in Star Wars.
As you walk along the bridge one side is filled with plexi glass cased shelves filled with these gorgeous glass vases and such. It is so colorful. If you look up there is glass on the roof of the bridge as well. Did I look up? No, I found out later that it was there. Bummer.....
Here is my baby girl standing on the bridge overlooking an awesome old building... you can't see it in the picture but that is an old court house which has a bunch of pretty glass pieces in the window too !!
The kiddo's posed here on a wall in front of the HUGE metal structure. I couldn't even fit in the top of the building here. I was even laying on the ground to take the picture.
After some fun inside the Museum we had a lovely lunch by the waterfront. I will share some of what we saw inside the Museum in part II... Stay tuned .... P>S> No Jonathan is not drinking Beer. It is ROOT BEER.
