The Chihuly Garden and Glass is actually in the shadow of the Space Needle., as you can see in the picture above. Since it was across the street we it was super easy to stop over for a visit. But first we strolled through the exterior garden in the surrounding park. The Chihuly exhibit was not a museum so there was little in the way of signs and explanations for each piece. Instead there was an explanation of the entire room and the individual items stood on their own. We really enjoyed all of the glass. On the advice of Mike and Deb, we strolled through the park and on to the Traveling Goat. Of course it is not that easy, we had to stop and watch a crew erecting large tests for a Pokémon Go event. The Traveling Goat a fun little bar just a short stroll away. We got a few drinks and some tasty bits. The hot taco was so good that I broke out in a sweat!
