After finishing up my work responsibilities last week, my parents flew in to do a little touring of the area with me. We saw all the highlights in Tacoma, then drove up to Vancouver for some more sight seeing. Sadly, Jacob was not on this trip with us - he will be coming up to Washington during my last week of the three week series in September. We will hit Seattle for the majority of that trip. Below are a few snapshots of the Tacoma and Vancouver highlights. Back to regular recipes and updates very soon!
Disclaimer: these are all iPhone pictures, I took a few with the big camera but the iPhone was most convenient for snapshots.
Glass museum in Tacoma.
A picnic on the pier.
Point Defiance zoo and aquarium.
Happy hour! Pictured are fried rice balls. We also ordered grilled romaine, and fried calamari. Oh, and a pitcher of sangria to share - the best I've ever had! Yum.
Beauty in downtown Tacoma. Blue skies are a rare sight in this part of the country. We felt very lucky to have such amazing weather.
Vancouver!
Stanley park totem poles. My Dad has a picture as a young kid in front of these historic totem poles.
Granville Island public market. Ah-mazing. Let the pictures tell you just how cool this place was.
Coffee break on the dock.
More public market. Fresh sushi and giant spring rolls. Yum!
Canada knows how to grow a pretty garden, that's for sure.
Headed back east! That's Mount Hood rising above the clouds.
It was a great trip, but I was so excited to get home to the hubby and puppy. Thanks for tuning in!
