Tacoma Day Trip 🚗💨

A bit rushed for one day, but still a fun little adventure! 😄 ⏰ Headed out around noon and first stopped at the popular Harvest Buffet for lunch 🍽️. The place was packed — definitely a local favorite! For under $20 per person, the value is great 👍. Tasty food, plenty of options — totally worth it. 🎨 Then we visited the Chihuly Bridge of Glass 🌈. Didn’t go into the Museum of Glass, but the bridge itself was pretty cool — worth a quick stop! 🏰 Stadium High School looked straight out of Harry Potter 🧙‍♂️⚡— such a magical vibe! 🌊 Point Ruston was lively with lots of people, but parking was a bit tricky 🚗😅. 🦭 At Dune Peninsula (Point Defiance Park), we even spotted a seal! 🦭✨ It was far away, but still exciting. 🛝 The Stairs & Slides were a hit with the kids — they loved it! 👧🧒 🏖️ Owen Beach was beautiful 😍☀️ — great views and a relaxing vibe. We spent the most time here just chilling. Sadly, we skipped the zoo 🐯 and some cute little stops along the coast — next time for sure! Overall, Tacoma surprised me — the houses and neighborhoods we passed were beautiful 🏡💕. I’ve heard some say it’s “dirty or sketchy,” but maybe we just visited different areas. A short but sweet day trip! Would come back to explore more 🌸📌. #Tacoma #SeattleDayTrip #WashingtonState #FamilyTravel #PNWLife
