8-3-2016 An Unplanned Day

Traveling in two trucks all eight of us went to Tacoma WA to find a Visitor's Center to find info about Seattle.

We learned more about Tacoma than we did Seattle; but that led to a walking and driving tour of downtown Tacoma.

We first walked to Union Station and near the Glass Museum which had several exhibits outdoors.

This depiction of a Native American is across the street of Union Station.  Incidentally Union Station is now a Court house.  No trains.

Mr. Traveler was posing in front of Union Station.  Glen is assisting with his bags.

Leaving there we drove along the waterfront in the downtown Tacoma area.  

"Tacoma Narrows" Bridge

What kind is this? Unusual.

Lunch was delicious at "Duke's Chowder House".  Use your imagination.  What did we have?  A bowl of New England chowder, and halibut, potato wedges, and apple salad, accompanied by sour dough bread.  Yum-mm!

Upon returning to the motor home the camp host gave us directions to a coin-operated laundry.  I must say this was the best laundry.  It was new and clean, and clean; did I mention "new and clean."  The prices were reasonable.  

Evelyn and Marcella co-cooked a peach cobbler while we were gone.  Another "yummy"--warm peach cobbler and ice cream.
