Terrific Tacoma – Advinspiration

So let me just get this out there: Tacoma is 20 minutes away from my house…and I’ve been there twice. Once to avoid a traffic jam and another for a 5k. Kind of a shame, because Tacoma is way cooler than I thought it would be. (although, honestly, I never thought about it…) I have a photo class coming up and haven’t gone out and taken any photos in weeks now, so I drug Jessica along with me to explore Tacoma, shoot some stuff, and drink coffee.

Beer bottles in the parking lot. Also I liked the lines.

Line marking the seam between buildings for some reason.

This probably used to look kind of cool.

Random art installations scattered about.

Monkeys. Not gonna lie, this one freaks me out a bit.

Liked the green tree against the red awnings.

Jessica and I were really excited because we thought this was a cupcake place. Turns out it was a strip club. Drats.

Found a fantastic parking garage full of it! :) — Found a fantastic parking garage full of it! 🙂

So there ya go! Next time we’re bored and want to go somewhere fun but not too far away we might swing by Tacoma and go to a few of the many museums and parks. I’m anxious to hit up the antique stores and there’s a whole row of local breweries. Something for everyone!
