If I had to pick the most interesting museum in Tacoma, it would probably be the unique LeMay Museum at Marymount. This museum displays over 1,000 cars from the collection of the late Harold LeMay. It's a must-see for anyone with even a passing interest in cars. The runner up in my book would have to be the Fort Nisqually Living History Museum. This one features a living history of the Hudson Bay trading company. More

Stanley Park is a great place to get out some of your twins' energy. It's where you'll find the Vancouver Aquarium, but beyond that, there are plenty of walking trails, playgrounds, and a massive forest to explore. The most popular trail runs along the Sea Wall, and it would make for a fun family bike ride. More

It's owned by Loews, which is a really pet-friendly hotel brand, and they'll always have knowledge about great walks and spots for your you and your dog. More

For classic Catalan cuisine, Les Set Portes is one of Barcelona's best and oldest restaurants. It was opened in the 1830s and so named for the seven doors through which customers could enter the original cafe. It's a little on the expensive side but not terribly overpriced. Paellla is superb. Lots of other local dishes like herring with onions and potatoes, roast goat, and lots of fresh seafood. If you really want a special experience, they actually have private dining rooms for two that you can reserve. More
