Tacoma and Gig harbor

A really cool cathedral in Tacoma. Lots of old architecture.
The Tacoma courthouse.

Mom and Dad in front of a glass sculture at the Tacoma Museum of Glass.


One of the many glass sculptures in front of museum. These represent waves.



Dad in front of a sculpture representing lily pads and plants. The museum is on the waterfront.





Wall of glass art as you enter the plaza going into the museum. Some of them are several feet high.




More glass scultptures entering the plaza to museum.






This is a 500' long pedestrian bridge that links downtown Tacoma with the museums. This is the ceiling of the bridge; tons of glass shaped as shells, eels, seahorses, etc. It's really cool.







Front of the Museum of Glass, Tacoma.








Tacoma Narrows Bridge. This is the bridge that was featured on TV that buckled during high winds. They have since fixed it (obviously) but the sign going on to the bridge said, "severe side winds ahead" and the windsock was blowing completely sideways!
