So tired. Long drive down to Gig Harbor to visit family friends…Rachel who is like my sister, and her cute little boy. On the way I stopped off at the domestic violence shelter in Tacoma to drop off the gifts. They were so thankful. There was a woman there who had been helped by the… More

The morning began at Dreamworks Studios with a tour of the campus. This was not a walk around and just point out a few bushes and buildings, this was a professional hour long explanation (at a high level) of how animation is created. The guide was funny and charming showing us the greenery and water… More
