Seattle

Seattle was a lot of fun!  :)

Ate a ton of really good food and had really great company.

Some of the things we did and ate:

Portage Bay Cafe – Delicious breakfast with an awesome fruit bar for pancakes/waffles

Gas Works Park – saw a bunch of remnants of a coal gasification plant – had nice views of the city

Kerry Park – beautiful view of the city with some seemingly advanced playground for kids – some weird things we had never seen before but were pretty neat!  Not your typical playground!

Top Pot Doughnuts

Ballard Locks – watched the boats go through – pretty neat

Milstead Coffee – latte

Trident Seafood – salmon wrap

Paseo – the most delicious cuban roast sandwich…best meal of the trip!!!!

Underground Tour of Seattle – lots of talking but still pretty neat

Seattle Space Needle

Lunch on Top of the Space Needle – so nice :)

Olympic Sculpture Park – great for sunsets though we didn’t catch one

Serious Biscuit – ridiculous biscuits for breakfast!

Kingfish Cafe – gumbo was so good, so were the wings, and fried chicken!!

Fremont Troll / Lenin Statue / Rocket Ship / Random Statues

Pike’s Place – saw fish throwing, tons of little shops, lots of people

First Starbucks

Flagship REI store

Pirosky Pirosky – meat pies – sooo freaking good!

Sweet Iron – fancy waffles for breakfast

Wonder if I’m missing anything…

Was super fun to wander around the city too.

Nice to catch up with old friends.

Had great company :)

It was a grand ole time!

Remember

The enemy pursues me,
he crushes me to the ground;
he makes me dwell in the darkness
like those long dead.
So my spirit grows faint within me;
my heart within me is dismayed.
I remember the days of long ago;
I meditate on all your works
and consider what your hands have done.
I spread out my hands to you;
I thirst for you like a parched land

Psalm 143:3-6

Remembering that God carries through every time.  The enemy is strong but God is much stronger and He will prevail.
