We spent the 2nd 1/2 of our first day in Tacoma in our hotel room. It was Sunday so we didn't want to do anything too exciting. We watched cartoons and "Hook" and I did laundry at the hotel laundry facility. That was VERY nice to have. Weird observance of the sabbath huh? Getting Cartoon Network, Nickleodean and Disney channels again did nothing but make me very glad we don't have cable anymore. We aren't missing much. The kids were watching a cartoon Network show and Sam's reaction to their weird cartoon was priceless. I feel the same way about most Cartoon Network shows.
We went to Tacoma for one reason. The Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium. I went to the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium when I went to Washington last time. In the two week time we were there, we went to the Zoo twice. We also went to the Seattle Zoo and my mom and I agreed the PDZA had it beat for really seeing the animals close up and them looking healthy, and more "at home." Puffins are so cute and fun loving.
It is smaller than a lot of zoos but it has most zoos beat in quality. The aquarium seemed to have more interesting sea animals than most. They had sharks, Seahorses, Sea Dragons, Jelly fish and a lot more. They also had an area where we were aloud to tough star fish etc.
The kids also enjoyed the kids play zone.
This was called the "Tired kid" exhibit. Unfortunatly. he was sleeping when we were there. The kids were quite exsausted by the time we left.
