Photo ~ Line for Tall Ships Tickets

Bonus: Weekend planner

Tomorrow's the day the large masted beauties roll into our humble municipality. That's right, Tall Ships and Freedom Fair craziness time everybody. Just look at the line of folks getting tickets around noon today at Freighthouse:

My question to y'all is this: Are you buying tickets? I remember from 2005 really enjoying myself without having to wait in huge lines to board the ships. There was so much joy in just seeing, experiencing the bustle, and knowing that Tacoma was a real star through it all.

Bonus! Weekend Planner

Here's my plan for this weekend around town.

Thurs

• 10am - Watch/photograph the parade of ships
• 7pm - Chalk in Tollefson Plaza
  

Friday

• Noon -- Frost Park chalk off
• Afternoon -- Stroll Ruston Way and catch the air show
• Early evening -- Wienerfest at The Red Hot, help a friend with computer stuff
• Evening -- Watch the fireworks from the grassy area at N. Mason and 38th

Saturday

• 10am -- Take in the Tall Ships along Dock Street
• Noon -- Escape the crowds and head to Dash Point State Park for some super low tide skimboarding action

What's your plan for the weekend? Anyone want to tag along to Dash Point? We could BBQ! plus I've got an extra skimboard. I'm just sayin'...
