Tiny Tennant Travels To - Point No Point

Point No Point Park is a great serene, and sandy beach with views of Whidbey Island and Seattle. On this sometimes sunny, sometimes cloudy Saturday, Tiny Tennant decided to travel to the park and soak in some fresh air and the sounds of rolling waves along the shore. 

Welcome to the beach!

A soft, sandy beach can be fun to walk through.

And fun to get buried it!

A quick break from the beach finds Tiny Tennant visiting amazing driftwood sculptures like this whale tale.

Or this incredible horse.

Tiny Tennant felt like royalty in this Game of Thrones looking bench. 

A little history lesson about Point No Point.

Back to the beach for bird watching, and shell collecting.

That's a nice shell Tiny Tennant.

This one is perfect - and the perfect size!

Peek-a-Boo!

Time to go Tiny Tennant. But first...

...one last look out to the water.

Thank you for traveling with Tiny Tennant. Until next time...

Tiny Tennant Travels To - The Washington State History Museum

Following yesterday's trip to Toytopia comes part two of Tiny Tennant's travels to the Washington State History Museum. 

The Washington State Historical Society has put together an impressive collection of artifacts, stories, and exhibits showcasing the history and industry of Washington State. 

Tiny Tennant's travels took him from the ice age, to the history of Native Americans in Washington, to the start of railroad travel to the Northwest, to the shanties of Hooverville, to the modern day people making a difference throughout Washington. Let's travel, shall we?

Welcome to the Washington State History Museum, brought to you by the Washington State Historical Society.

Where should we begin?

The History Lab has fun and interesting interactive exhibits like these real life stuffed oxen "pulling" a wagon of supplies.

Learning a little about Chief Joseph.

A display full of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff.

Tiny Tennant could find a button telling this traveler's story. He'll just have to tell it himself.

The large model train display is fun to watch.

An interesting exhibit takes you on a road trip through the state exploring the events that lead to the formation and design of the state.
Tiny Tennant is behind the wheel and ready to take you on a trip.

These Mastodon and Mammoth teeth are incredible. And intimidating to someone so tiny.

You can sit and listen to, and learn, different Indian languages. 

The Great Hall has history and industry on display: A longhouse you can walk though; traditional wagon train wagon; replica railroad cars; and so much more.

A display showcasing the different people that came to work on the railroads.

What was the nightlife like in Seattle during the war?

Peeking through the window of a shanty in Hooverville.

The museum even has an amphitheater with Union Station as its backdrop.

Why is Washington important to you Tiny Tennant?

The journey home back across the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.
Fun fact: the museum also has a chunk of "Galloping Gertie" - the original bridge that collapsed and fell into the Narrows during a windstorm in 1940.

Thank you for traveling with Tiny Tennant. Until next time...

Tiny Tennant Travels To - Toytopia

On a rainy Spring day in the Pacific Northwest, you need to find fun and interesting things to do indoors. Today Tiny Tennant traveled to the Washington State History Museum to see their current featured exhibit Toytopia!

At the museum through June 10th, Toytopia is bound to bring back memories of your favorite toys whether you are 5, 50, or 99! A little of this, a little of that, you'll find displays featuring dolls, board games, video games, Lincoln Logs, Lego, and so much more. You'll also find a life size doll house, a mini version of the floor piano from the movie Big, a mini arcade with great original games like PacMan and Space Invaders, and the world's largest Etch-A-Sketch!

Let's travel with Tiny Tennant and see some of the great things he visited while at Toytopia!

A rainy trip across the Tacoma Narrows Bridge

Welcome to Toytopia!

Pong anyone?

In his travels through space and time, Tiny Tennant remembers spending time in cabins made from Lincoln Logs.

That Lite Brite looks like fun...

...but this giant Lite Brite is even more fun!

Umm, is this Chucky doll looking at me?

The working Lego construction site was pretty cool.

Tiny Tennant found some Toytopia guests his own size.

The Force is strong with these toys.

Learning a little bit of history behind the Rubik's Cube.

What's your favorite arcade game Tiny Tennant?

Old metal toy, or potential foe?

The world's largest Etch-A-Sketch was a little too big for Tiny Tennant to operate.

This one, though, was just the right size to try to draw a TARDIS. 

Hello Uncle Pennybags!

Did someone call for a Doctor?

Toytopia, definitely worth the visit if you are in the greater Puget Sound area before June 10th.

Thank you for traveling with Tiny Tennant as he took a trip through toy time travel.
