My mom had a great idea for Anna and me: Museum of Glass!!! We drove for about an hour to Tacoma, where for $8 we saw an exhibit, a live demostration of glass blowing by the famous Lino Tagliapietra, and even made some jewelry with shrinky dinks! Absolutely a fabulous day and it made me feel like I was on a mini vacation. Below are a few pictures:

these are my shrinky dinks before they were shrunk (earrings and pendants: I drew the trees myself)

Turns out Almond Roca originated in Tacoma! Who knew? Unfortunately, the factory stopped doing tours 20 years ago, but we were able to buy some candy at the factory store: delicious!

Olga, you drove?
yes, Kamal, as freaking if. My mom and Anna would not let me even touch the driving wheel.
