Where do I start? This past week was full of fun and surprises! I turned 27 last Thursday and in celebration of this my wonderful husband made it, yet again, another memorable birthday for me!
I guess I have this thing with water...so John officially made this birthday "The Year of Water". Everything we did had something to do with, the water. ;-)
We started off by checking into a suite at the Silver Cloud Inn, on the Tacoma waterfront (our room had a water view). Once all settled in, we were off to a fabulous dinner at Harbor Lights, where we dinned and enjoyed a view of the Tacoma 'water' front. Although we were celebrating my birthday we took a quick detour to the PUG -Pictage User Group- meeting that was being held at the wonderfully talented MeRa Koh's home. What a delight to meet yet again, more great area photographers. John and I are really enjoying these monthly get together's and can't wait for the next one.
The remainder of the evening was spent relaxing with a glass of wine with my wonderful husband. The following day we were up bright and early and off for breakfast. John had the whole day planned out for us. First stop, Tacoma's Museum of Glass (which has great "water" fountains"). GREAT experience!
Then it was off to Seattle to Ride the Ducks (yup...you guessed it, also goes on the water)! I'd never been on this before and it was really cool! Then it was off and UP to the observation deck of the Space Needle (where we had a view of yes...the water). That's always a great experience!
Last but surely not least, we were headed off for a yummy dinner at Ray's Boat House. John phoned ahead and let them know it was my birthday and they had reserved for us a great corner table with a view of the 'water'. We were also visited by a beautiful bald eagle as we ate our dinner.
Although worn out, it was a great birthday adventure for me. Thank you John for making it happen! I love you more than you know!
