We drove up to Tacoma today. Along the way we stopped in Olympia and visited the State house. We just happened to be there during the Governor’s state of the state address, so that was kind of cool.
After that we drove out to a state park called Flaming Geyser. It sounds pretty cool, but the guide books assured us it was not very impressive. Once we accepted that, we actually had a good time. And there is still a flaming geyser, though it only reaches about 4 inches. It was very cold, but we had fun seeing the fire (which it a lit pocket of methane) and ice encrusting the playground equipment.
We then drove to Tacoma and saw the Tacoma-Narrows bridge (it’s predecessor was known as Gallopin’ Gertie) and drove over it into Gig Harbor. A friend of our just recently moved to Gig Harbor and we were able to meet up with him for dinner.
We had a great time!
