We started yesterday off in Seattle. We had big plans to spend the day doing artsy things, but it didn't work out that way. We went to the Glassblowing studio first to watch a live demonstration. The amount of heat that they used to create the glass was crazy. There were a couple of guys working in a team to create lighting fixtures for a customer (who was there to add his input). Then, we walked downtown to the Art Museum to the big guy with the hammer only to find out that it was closed on Mondays. We walked around for a bit and had a tea tasting (see below!) Then, we decided to head back to the hotel to get the truck and head to another museum that was on our way out of town. Jesse suggested that we call ahead to be sure they aren't closed on Mondays as well and he was right...closed.
We decided to hit the road anyway and head back to Portland. The drive wasn't the nicest (straight shot down I-5) but we did get to see Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier from a distance.
Once we unloaded the truck, we headed out to Dabney State Park for a round of frisbee golf. You will notice from the pictures that I spent most of the time watching Jesse throw the discs because, despite all that Mrs. Quigley taught me in gym class, I'm not a fantastic frisbee thrower. :) It was a nice walk through the Park, though.
On the way out, we stopped for a quick history lesson at the Lewis and Clark State Park and then came back to the house for a pizza and to watch House. Another great day out west...
