I had a birthday last weekend and to celebrate I like to travel if I can. This year I didn’t want to go far. DH and I headed to Tacoma for a couple of days.
Tacoma’s revitalized old downtown is very walkable. Museums, restaurants, theaters, and the University of Washington are all in a compact area.
I wanted to get back to the Museum of Glass.The last time I was there I didn’t explore their hot shop — the exhibition space where glass artists show how it’s done — and there are new temporary exhibits.
I also wanted to explore the Washington State History Museum.
It was great fun. I’ll share some of my trip in the coming days.
The museum would definitely draw me in.
One doesn’t want to turn around on that staircase and go back down if they’ve forgotten something.
Happy Birthday – a little late – so glad you had a nice get-away – can’t wait to see more photos.
The Museum of Glass would be one I would not miss. Happy Belated Natal Day!!
Lovely entrance to the museum! Looks like you chose a neat way to celebrate your birthday!
Happy birthday! I went to Tacoma some years ago. I don’t remember this museum. Maybe it was built since I visited.
Happy belated Birthday! Hope you had a wonderful day and nice getaway. Now….about that Hot Shop. I find it fascinating such a large, unusual bit of architecture was permitted right in downtown. Curious.
