Leg 03 of our Road Trip was in Washington. I've always wanted to go to Seattle-I even thought I might live there one day--I still might! Who knows. ;)
While we were being touristy at the Space Needle I saw out of the corner of my eye this little sign that said "Chihuly Garden of Glass". I had learned about Chihuly in school and I thought he was absolutely fantastic. To tour it was of course expensive (to me) so I was just going to look around the gift shop, but then my dad surprised me and bought me a ticket! I was beyond words--so happy and excited.
And it was incredible! I will never forget this experience!
Dale Chihuly was born in 1941 in Tacoma, Washington and is an amazing glass sculptor.
I can't even describe to you how beautiful it was. It was everything that I love all in one garden. He is remarkable and I'm so glad I was lucky enough to see his beautiful sculptures!
Did you know Chihuly has a Bachleors of Interior Design?
ReplyDeleteAand I met him when I was little. He's still my fav glass artist!
