Tocoma Museums

Posted on 18th December @ 10:28pm @ Melanies house

We are off to LA tomorrow. Going to see another of melanies friends who lives down there. So yeah, we are flying down tomorrow afternoon and spending the weekend. Apparently we are going to Malibu one day, but imj not sure what else we will be doing.

Today Melanie and i went to her old school again to pick up some stuff. That pretty much took all morning. IN the afternoon we headed over to Tacoma and went to the Tacoma art museum and also the Tacoma glass museum. Every 3rd thursday or somthing they are free entry so we took them up on that offer. The museums are pretty cool. The glass one had a live demonstration of them blowing glass and making stuff which was neat.

I was kinda amazed at the price of some of the stuff they where selling, i guess they class it more as ‘art’ then jsut a piece of glass. One glass ‘thing’ had a price tag of $12000 – yup thats 12 thousand american dollars. *shrugs* I guess im jsut not that arty.

We also dropped by the Wasington State History museum. That was fun. Had a lot about the early times and the indians. There where different sections – environment, explorers, mining, war, etc etc. We didnt have much time there as they clsoe at 8pm, but that was ok.

So yeah, was a pretty casual day today jsut looking around at stuff. LA should be good on the weekend and then its pretty much christmas time.

Thinking about it, its not that long till i head home again. Time sure does fly. I jsut have to cross my finegrs that the pants im wearing to mty sisters wedding still fit me – damn ive gotten fat over here
