That felted birthday cake looks yummy.

Did you know, you can also take the Grand Staircase to the waterfront, makes for a nice walk on a warm night.

This coming Thursday, May 15th, is Artwalk. Admission will be free at the Tacoma Art Museum all day, and the Museum of Glass and Washington State History Museum from 5 to 8.

they ARE great pics - is the Museum of Glass in Tacoma? I've heard so much about it - I must make that an Artist's Date....something is bugging me about my schedule next Thursday - I can't think what, but if there's nothing going down, I'm going to go do a Tacoma run. Thx for the tip!

How long are they visiting for?

Tacomamama,
Ooh, free is even better. :)
We took one staircase down at the Glass Museum(spiral one w/ fountain), and that was a pretty view. I really like the way the building and grounds are designed at the Glass Museum. The funnel shaped Hot Shop area is totally cool.

Holy,
Yup, that's the one. Tacoma is so close that day trips are easy when visitors are in town.
(The grandparents left this past week.)

I loved watching in the hot shop - well worth the price of admission! I'm glad you got to go. :)

Jeri,
Yeah, the hot shop was really cool. I liked watching the teamwork as they created the glass art.
