Museum of Glass in Tacoma

We also visited the Museum of Glass in Tacoma.  It was a glass kind of weekend.  










We loved seeing the visiting artist in the Hot Shop.  It was Laura Donefer and she was amazing.  The few times I've been lucky to see glass blowing in action, I've seen vases and bowls.  Laura was doing an abstract art piece to represent grief and loss because she just loss her parents.  I was grateful that she was willing to share her pain because the art process was beautiful.  The scratched and dug at the warm glass and pushed it out from the inside.  We can't wait to see the finished product.









 

Celebrating Our 20th!

We had such a fun little get away.  We enjoyed time in the temple and then we drove to our VRBO in Seattle.  


We woke up to this cool view and then drove to Kona Kitchen to eat Hawaiian food.  This restaurant is owned by Yuji Okumoto, who we love from Karate Kid II and Cobra Kai.






Then we went to the Seattle and took this not-so-flattering picture at the Space Needle.  Then we went to the Chihuly Garden and Glass.  It was beautiful and we loved seeing a demo of glass blowing.
