The Bluest Skies

There was an old song that went,

"The bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle."

The same goes for Tacoma, and Federal Way,

and Edmonds, and Everett.

North of Tacoma

It's about an hour's drive from Tacoma,

but there's a fun Children's Museum in Everett.

It's on Wall Street, west of Colby Avenue.

Right across from the Monte Cristo building.

High Pressure/Gorgeous Sunsets

There's been a high pressure system

off the Washington coast,

bringing milder temperatures

and blue skies.

Makes Olympic ski runs

a little softer than usual,

but gives us great sunsets.

Rock n Row

Auction item at Rock 'n' Row,

the annual fundraiser for

Commencement Bay Rowing Club.

The club has programs for adolescents, adults, 

and physically challenged people. It is working closely

with nearby military bases to provide rowing experiences

for wounded warriors.

The boathouse is located at Harry Todd Park

on American Lake.

There are programs year-round

and the spring season will start soon.

Lunch at the Museum

The food is marvelous

at the café at the Museum of Glass.

It's prepared by my favorite catering outfit,

Gallucci's.  

I had a Greek salad that was extraordinary.

And notice the tablecloths and flowers on all the tables.

Hot shop.

Exhibits.

Café.

A trifecta.

Patches of Blue

Sometimes we get rain breaks.

Woo hoo!

(Happy Super Bowl Sunday, y'all.)

Alfa Romeo

It never occurred to me

that there was one in Tacoma. . .

silly me.

Blues Brothers

If Marilyn Monroe

didn't excite you,

maybe you're a Blues Brothers fan.

USA of Yesterday Motors.

Marilyn Monroe

USA of Yesterday Motors

in Tacoma

has some cool art. 

How about a little Marilyn Monroe?

Raindrops and Cattails

It's wet today.

I tried to get a photo of the ducks

that recently arrived at the pond,

but they were having none of that.

So have raindrops

and cattails instead.

Spanish Steps

The Spanish Steps

outside the decaying Elks Lodge Building

are in sad shape, too.

Time for a face lift.
