Glass Museum & Sky City Restaurant

Today we woke up to rain and decided to go to a Glass Museum in Tacoma. When we got there, we were surprised at the unique architecture of the building. Before we went in, we got brunch at a little sandwich shop and took pictures of the glass fountain outside. Once in the building, we were astounded at the beauty of the glass sculptures! They really were exquisite. There was a children section where kids drew pictures and then sculptors created the pictures out of glass. At the museum there was also a Hot Shop, where they make glass art. A visiting artist was there making vases. It was really interesting how the different levels of glass are created and blown.


After the museum we went back to the hotel to get ready for dinner at the Space Needle. As we were driving back into Downtown Seattle the sun came out. We went back up the Space Needle for Dinner at Sky City (Jacqueline kept her eyes open on the ride up this time, while crushing Mike's hand). The 360* view was spectacular. As we ate we got to see the city beneath us rotating. The food and the experience was great, well worth the expense. 



As we drove back to the hotel we said good bye to Seattle. We are now getting packed for our trip down the coast to Portland. Talk to you when we get there!
