Washington State Historical Museum And Museum Of Glass Trip!

I have "DATE DAY" every Tuesday with my little grandson. I pick him up at school, take him out to eat and then we go do whatever he wants to do for the rest of the day. He really looks forward to it, but it's really alllllllllll for me! I only have one grandchild and I wanted to be sure I wasn't going to miss having special time with him, hence......"BRETT'S SPECIAL DAY"... Last week we did the Washington State Historical Museum and Dale Chihuly's Museum of Glass. If you don't live tooooo far away, make this a destination. It's in Tacoma's museum district, also housing the Tacoma Art Museum. You could actually do all three and make a day of it.

These pictures are actually taken OUTSIDE in the walkway between the Washington State museum and the Glass Museum. BEEEEE-UUUUU-TI-FULL!!!! It's on the ceiling!



More of the ceiling.......

Blowing Glass.


More from the viewing area.


They have an art room where you can go to do a little project.......My boy LOVES art and is all about art supplies and little projects. Oh, how I LOVE this child. He is truly the joy of my heart.


Brett, working on his mobile.


This is a shot from the Historical Museum. Isn't it cute???



Shirley Temple and the Dionne Quints. My daughter has an enormous Dionne collection. She's loved them ever since she was a little girl.......when her Mommy used to buy her items......now she buys her own! :-)



Dionne Quints sheet music. Fifty Chubby Tiny Toes.....it was my daughter's very first item for her collection. She became enamoured with them.......Ok.......I have always gone to antique shows and flea markets, so there was a method to my madness......I never had to coax her to go.......she was always on a quest to find something for her collection. And, the hobby has held. She still loves to go on the search for something fun! YIPPPEEEE!!!



I know this picture's not very good, but it's a shot of the inside of a ship being built from the historical museum. Brett loves this room......



Wooops.........I didn't realize somebody had walked into this picture!

So, that's my Show and Tell Friday..........I'm sorry I'm so late. I've had so much trouble getting things up and running. I've tried five different browsers now and for some reason none of them work properly.
Now, I'm not about to mess this whole gizmo up by trying to hide the link, so I'll just put it out there for you.....
Sweet Kelli hosts this lovely event and you can see more lovely ladies at:
I'm going to put something fun up for Pink Saturday......so do come back!
I LOVE visitors.
God bless you and have a wonderful weekend!
Warm regards,
Spencer
