In what may or may not be a proud parenting moment, I had the girls watch 10 Things I Hate About You, because, well, Seattle. They didn't love it- I'm sure they mostly didn't get it, though I was once again endeared by its greatness.
Why did I force have the girls watch it? So we could then go see Stadium High School! This high school is only about 10 minutes from my parents house, but I don't think I have ever been there. If I have, I certainly didn't appreciate its beauty- and it is incredible.
It was originally built as a luxury hotel for the Pacific Railroad Company, but in the depression of 1893 they went bankrupt. A fire destroyed the inside, and then finally in 1906 Tacoma School District bought it and turned it into a school. In 1913 the famous and iconic stadium was built.
It truly is a masterpiece! What a hidden gem in this beautiful city! Even if Camille only cared to pick the blackberries, it was still awesome to see it.
