Marcus wants to share one of his favorite restaurants on the water in Tacoma with us so we head to the Tacoma Harbor on the scenic route. It is a bit of a drive but worth getting to see the area-Mt Rainier seems close enough to touch! Seeing the shipyards and getting to be on the water is a treat.
The restaurant, C I Shenanigans, is very nice, built out over the sound. We didn’t call ahead for reservations and are told it will be a 30-minute wait for an outside table but could be seated inside immediately which might have been better as the sun is setting and it will be chilly outside, even with gas heaters. But being outside for sunset AND the harbor activity is part of the experience, so we settle in for the wait.
We sit on the deck and watch the activity on the water while enjoying a delicious meal and a wonderful visit with our grandson. This is the first time we have had an opportunity to hear about his experiences in the Army and specifically his tour of duty in Iraq. We are pleased that he seems to be doing well with his journey, both physically and emotionally.
