Chihuly Seattle is open on a limited basis due to covid-19 and state reopening plans. For those visiting the City of Seattle, I highly recommend adding Chihuly Garden & Glass to your “must do list”. Sharing my last visit – the Chihuly collection. We can still armchair travel and add […]
When my friend posted photos on Facebook of the Infinity Mirrors exhibit at the Hirshhorn in Washington, D.C. I was intrigued by the art and the infinite images. I had never heard of the artist, Yayoi Kusama, a Japanese artist whose career spans over 65 years. She is still, at […]
I’ve been visiting Seattle for over twenty years now ever since my childhood friend married and relocated to the Emerald city. On early visits, I stayed with my friend but as her family grew, I quickly lost the guest room and then the basement and finally the air mattress. I […]
On past visits to Seattle, I wasn’t able to visit the Olympic Sculpture Park, so with ample time to explore the city it was a quick ten minute walk from the Chihuly Garden and Glass exhibition and Space Needle. The clouds of the morning were starting to dissipate and the […]

Everyone wants to see the flying fish, they are crowded around the fish stall at the entrance to Pike Place Market in Seattle. The school children are just waiting and watching – we all are. The one item missing is the customer – the fish stall needs a customer to […]
My first stay at the Hotel Monaco Seattle was many years ago and the only memorable part of the stay was the goldfish “Talula” that was placed in our room. Memorable because we had a pet for the night but also because we had just seen “Saving Nemo” at the movies and when […]
On my recent Portland/Seattle trip, I needed to visit the Emergency Room. Visiting the hospital on vacation was not on my vacation “to do” list but the experience made me think about vacations and health a bit differently. While I understand my insurance coverage, I was a bit lost on how […]
