Fave Bavarian Tirschenreuth Dishes and Seattle Aquarium

It's Saturday and it's time to show off our favorites, show anything in pink, and go sightseeing at the same time. It will be another busy weekend, I can tell already.
I hope you are all keeping warm. I thought spring was here because we had 2 days in the 70's and sunny last week but it's been freezing again since Wednesday. I'll be in Florida soon so hopefully the cold weather does not follow me there.

Below are my favorite Bavarian Tirschenreuth dinner plates, salad plates and and tea set. I also have a set of cream soups. These all do not have the same pattern but I think they all blend together. I bought the square salad sets first (I think they might be octagonal) from an antique store and then I found the others on Ebay. They all have pink flowers even if the borders are green and gold. Right now, they are displayed in our corner china cabinet in the dining room and in the china cabinet in the family room.

Ok, now, let's go to the Seattle Aquarium. This will be the last series of my Seattle trip.

The organization who sponsored the medical meeting organized a dinner at the Seattle Aquarium one evening. This big aquarium is the first thing you see when you enter and this is the big hall where the food and cocktails were served, on several tables.

The food was very good. I wish I had taken a picture of each course but I was busy looking at the fish.

Isn't that an unusual long striped fish? I do not know what kind it is.


John was really enjoying the starfish and how they created their habitat with a waterfall and all.

This octopus was huge! Look at all the tentacles. It was really interesting to watch the movement of its arms.

This is as far as I would go scuba diving, lol.

Back to the starfish.

Looks like he is singing to them or conducting, lol.

I just love the colors. They seem to enjoy the flow and sound of the water.

They had a really nice display of jelly fish. The color of the lights kept changing.

And this is a familiar scene whenever we went back to the hotel. It's the convention center. It's my landmark whenever I have to get back to the hotel after my daily walk to downtown.

Thank you Beverly and Laurie, for hosting and thank y'all for stopping by. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
