This week is Spring break and this is a picture of Nancy, Ezra, India, and Alice in front of OMSI. We've had a great time doing day trips alone and with the grandkids. Started out the week taking in a movie "Heart of Gold", a movie documenting Neil Young's new album. Very touching because the album was a product of Neil finding out that he had an anurism and would be having surgery. he writes thoughtful songs that probably relate more to thoses of us who are getting older and our mortality is more present.We had a fun time at OMSI. This was Alice's first outing to OMSI and I think she had fun, especially in the science lab for kids, where she played in the sand and water. Ezra and India were a kick all piling into Alice's stroller! The animation exibit was cool. The kids learned how a series of still pictures put together create motion. On the way home, we stopped at the GAP so Ezra could buy a hoodie with the money his Dad gave him.
Yesterday Nancy and I went to the museum of glass and the Washington State Museum of History in Tacoma. Amazing! The sky bridge between the two museums is a must see. Dale Chihuli, a famous glass artist from Tacoma created 1000's of glass pieces that look like shells suspended over your head when you cross the brigde. The hot shop is a working studio where you can watch glass blowers at work.
I love all the things we can do right here in our state. So much to do. We still want to go to the beach, taste wine in the Yakima Valley, go to Portland again—alas too much for one week—but hey, there's always another day
