Daughter came to visit after six weeks traveling around France and four weeks at FUS. With her in tow, we wandered down to find weird stuff in Portland, stopped at Mount St. Helens on the way back, explored a little of Tacoma, and wandered around our old haunts in Seattle.
On the way back to Seattle, we detoured off to see what we might see at Mount Saint Helens. Although clouds hid the very top, the visitor center provided interesting displays of the 1980 volcanic eruption.
The fabulous Chihuly glass sculptures are everywhere. Our original introduction to the artist Chihuly was at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. During a drive around the Eastern United States in 2008, we stopped there specifically to see their temporary exhibit on glass making, art, and sculpture.
We spent the afternoon exploring Gig harbor, an old fishing community, just beyond the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.
Thanks for joining me on this incredible journey. Treasure every minute of it.
It’s been a fun ride
