Tacoma Sightseeing

Aside from taking my parents sightseeing in Seattle, we also wanted to take them to Tacoma. The North side of Tacoma is quite attractive and should be explored. We first stopped by World Market because my dad was on a mission to find a specific bottle of Merlot to take to his buddy. Happy that he found one we then went to a bookstore where Riley picked up a few more Comics. Jacob recently began buying him his very own comic book collection. He really gets into them. So, my dad got Riley a few more.
A burger sounded good to me for lunch so we stopped by Five Guys. Of course, we first had to stop by Panera to pick up Riley some of their mac n cheese. He about finished it all including the piece of bread.

We then took my parents to the Tacoma waterfront to walk off our lunch. Ruston Way is very pretty. Jacob and Riley where once again spying for some fish.

I wanted to make sure that I got a picture with my parents. It was time to update the last one I took with them a few years back.

I think I want to have this picture enlarged and framed. Spending time by the water is very therapeutic.

After we left the waterfront we headed over to Point Defiance Park. We drove through the five mile drive. Very pretty and full of shade. This time we saw lots of raccoons. I got out of the car to take a picture. I was so ready to run if it decided to chase me, lol. My dad decided to open the car door. Not good, lol. Geez. Good thing he closed it right away.

We continued on driving and we came across several more. Seriously, we saw about 8-10 raccoons. They look so cute but I wouldn't want to get too close to one.

We stopped at the Narrows Bridge lookout so my parents could see this cool bridge. I also told them that we recently walked across it. My dad thought the bridge was too long to walk across. It was but it was also a lot of fun. I totally want to want to do that again.

Once we got home Jacob, Riley and my dad left again back to Tacoma. Nathan had a football game there. My mom and I stayed home. Jacob texted me while at the game saying that during half time they went back to his car and hung out there because it was so cold. My dad stayed in the car for the rest of the game, lol. I couldn't help but laugh. He he!!! Oh, and they also saw several deer run across the field. Jacob even took video. That must have been cool to see.
