help! what to do today

My sister is in town.  She was born and raised here, but has lived in the middle of nowhere for most of her adult life.  Anyway, she is with me for today before she goes to visit the rest of my family.

I am looking for something:

-not too far of a drive from Federal Way

-not too $ to get into

-reasonable for my 6 year old

-northwesty or touristy kind of 

Any suggestions?

TTC #2 for a million years: SA normal, CD 23 bloodwork shows nothing amiss, ovulation detected. Next step: ? maybe CD3 bloodwork to check eggs? All out of pocket, so limited IF tests/treatments.

Re: help! what to do today

  • i'm not really good with the south end, so i'll just go with one place that i know of :)  not really touristy or northwesty, but kubota gardens in renton is a very fun place to go. it's free and if you're quick, won't take more than an hour, so your 6 yr old won't get too fussy..just don't stay too long.

    i'm sure the other ladies can give you better suggestions :)

    i like kubota gardens. remember before i got married and we were gonna do pictures there and you advised against it because that park is in every asian person wedding pics that you know? (atleast that is what you said, lol!)

    lol, did i tell you that? it's mostly true. every asian i know who got married in the south-end, or is first gen chinese (regardless where their weddings are) does that.

  • I love the dntn museums. The wa st history museum is pretty cool, and has life-like displays, trains, covered wagons, etc. that might engage T.

  • Ditto, Point Defiance and the museums in Tacoma...history, glass.  You could take a ferry ride from point defiance to Vashon, just for the ride.  Hang out on the waterfront.  Or, there's always Enchanted Village/Wild Waves for the kiddo.  Or, there's Salt Water State Park in Fed Way or Redondo in Des Moines if you want some closer beach time.

    Not moi.  Is this further evidence I'm actually a white person trapped in an Asian person's body?

  • Isn't there a sand castle building festival somewhere near Federal Way? That would be interesting.
