Tacoma Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

What A Gorgeous City 🏙️❤️

There is so much to see and do and we just scratched the surface. We did a lot of walking but also used taxis and metro and took a trolley tour. The list is endless that we fitted in to such a short space of time - tour of US Capitol, Washington Monument (buy tickets ahead of time on the National Park's Website), Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, White House, Ford's Theatre (enjoyed A Christmas Carol in this quaint theatre), Union Station, National Cathedral,and endless Museums. Wouldn't hesitate in recommending this fabulous city for anyone looking for a long weekend or week away - plenty to see, do and just enjoy the whole atmosphere of this capital city. Having never been to Washington D.C. I did not know what to expect. The City is beautiful, with wonderful architecture, museums and great restaurants. We stayed at the Mayflower Renaissance Hotel; centrally located and we could walk to the White House. The hotel was beautiful and the service was great; better than I could have hoped for. Stayed seven nights and still did not see everything. Rode the Metro the whole time were there and it was very simple to figure out. I am proud to call this the capitol of our country. #awesomepic #couplestrip #deliciousfood #foodie #us #usatrip #citylife #dc #washingtondc #beauty #flowers #cupcakes #building #architecture #Gorgeous #summervacation #spring #cold9°#musem #art #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #travel #cafe #bucketlistreboot

Dried Flowers Dome Workshop in Marymount

Did this as an activity to celebrate a friend’s birthday. We all had fun though the activity will require some patience (that we ran out of nearing the end cause we were hungry) The instructor was really patient and nice and sat near us so whenever we ran into any problems we could easily ask her The selection of dried flowers was quite extensive. Overall we had fun and we spent about 2.5hours doing the round globe it turned out quite nice. #couplestrip There was a large variety of dried flowers which we could choose from and therefore large room for originality and customisations. The instructor shared some useful starters and tricks on floral arrangement and guided us patiently whenever we had questions. We signed up because their pricing is very affordable compared to other floral courses which are around the same duration. Would strongly recommend this activity to friends or couples looking to spend quality together. The only downside is that the location is secluded (deep in an industrial building)so just remember to refer to the directions whatsapped by the vendor as they're still in the middle of updating the klook page with the link

Missing international travels... especially summer in snow mountains! Great hiking trip for anyone looking for some fun! #leaveyourmark #hiking#nationalpark#urbanexplorer

Alice in Wonderland enjoyed the autumn scenery at Mount Rainier

On Saturday, 9.30, we went to Mt Rainier and only walked 1.5 miles, but the scenery before us was so captivating that we simply couldn't bear to turn back! It felt like we had fallen into a fairy tale book. Unfortunately, we started off in the wrong place because our navigation was incorrect. Sisters, if you're going, make sure not to navigate directly to 'Rainier' or 'visitor center', as they won't let you in!! We got to the entrance and the ticket seller told us to go to the other side of the mountain, 'Paradise'. We were completely confused, and it took another hour to get there! Luckily, we set off quite early that day. After parking the car and grabbing a quick bite, we started our hike up the mountain. The scenery along the way was breathtaking, and the first part of the skyline trail was very easy to walk, even with a stroller, making it elderly and child friendly. After Myrtle Falls, the trail becomes a bit more difficult. I must say, it's best to go up the mountain early. When we were heading back, fog had already set in on the mountain, and it was just after 2 PM. The temperature had also dropped quickly, and we couldn't see much of the scenery anymore

Union Station DC

Washington Union Station is a major train station, transportation hub, and leisure destination in Washington, D.C. Opened in 1907, it is Amtrak's headquarters and the railroad's second-busiest station with annual ridership of just under 5 million and the ninth-busiest in overall passengers served in the United States. #passionpassport

I mentioned the United States, what do you think of? Intentional indulgence? Open freedom? Still a nightlife of paper drunken fans? Look tired of the bustling New York street scene and LA's sparkling star not as good as Tacoma experience a unique tram American Italian as the port city of Washington Tacoma most famous The attraction is the Straits Suspension Bridge Today I found a different play experience in this port city in a tram with a retro accent like the United States/hh in the 90s / Have eaten delicious American meal go to Warehouse and friends to drink beer slightly sour mellow beer just dissolved undigested meals after eating enough I still have to go to the video game room to play in the last century's table pinball a whole day of happiness are hidden in the bit of life
