On the agenda today was to check out the Museum of Glass in Tacoma. We'd read about the bridge of glass and weren't sure what to expect with that. It wasn't quite what we expected (I guess we expected a bridge made out of glass!), but it was quite amazing.
The first portion is a span overhead filled with colorful pieces of Chihuly glass:
The middle has two large "sticks with glass ice cubes" on them, as Rudy described them:
And the last portion has a partitioned wall filled with more Chihuly pieces:
Once we got inside the museum, we watched the guys working in the hot shop. They were making one of their Kids Design pieces, which is a glass piece made based on a kids' drawing.
After that, we checked out the rest of the museum. No pictures were allowed in most parts, so we only got a shot of this vase that the kids liked...
...and this outside work that was inspired by steam coming off a cup of hot tea:
Then, it was back over the bridge of glass...
...to the Town Hall with three more Chihuly pieces:
We happened upon a maritime museum on our way out of town, so we spent an hour or so there.
We finished off the day with some swim time at the hotel pool!
