One of Tacomas amazing Gems! You can go in museum but the real Gem is outside for free- as you walk over the freeway foot bridge- you’ll see some of Chihuly’s amazing work! And make sure you go all the way across to see the light shine through the ceiling covered in his “underwater” glass - interpretations- takes your breath away! And it’s free!

Located in Beautiful Gig Harbor just across Tacoma narrows bridge- there is a toll on the way back- but there is a lot to see and visit in GH- and stopping for hot chocolate, coffees and painting a unique ceramic mug, bowl, plate- whatever could be a treasured memory for years to come. Love the owners- this place has a great family vibe!

Corina Bakery
602 Fawcett AvePoint Ruston
5020 Main StAlways great sandwiches and “home made” food- there’s not a sandwich in this place we don’t love - from the classic Rueben on Rye to the egg salad, tuna or roast beef. Quality and all the basics just like you remember! Milk shakes are to die for and home made pie! If you get there early- and get the day old scones- it’s the best deal in town!
