Commodore's Cruise to South Sound - Day 5 in Tacoma

Today our schedule included two things - a visit to the LeMay Car Museum and dinner where we could watch the second preseason Seahawk game! We began at 9:30 with a guided tour of the museum.

There were 17 of us that went and we had a great time looking at all the cars and learning a little history about the cars from our guide. Bob and I went to the museum a couple of years ago but I learned that while the museum owns about 1000 cars, they rotate 300 through the exhibit at any one time. Someday Bob and I would like to drive Route 66 across the country and one part of the exhibit talked about it and also showcased some of the types of cars you would have seen along the route in the 60s.

Another area showed some alternate modes of transportation that were interesting to see. There was the bicycle, the first electric car with its separate charger, and a Stanley Steamer,

 

A couple of my favorites were the 1957 BelAir, turquoise of course, that I would love to have. I also enjoy seeing old fire engines and this one caught my attention.

For dinner, we all went to Paesan Restaurant for good pub food and to watch the game. We had a great time and pretty much took over the restaurant for the evening.
