We are now back in AZ but I didn't have time yesterday with all of the travel to post our final experiences. We got to catch up with an old friend, Dean Kuest, who is the lead pastor at Pathways Church in Washington (and the guy who spoke at Central this past weekend). He took us to the waterfront and we had some authentic Seattle cuisine, Ivars, and fed some seagulls. I got up the courage to feed them directly (have you seen the size of their beaks?), but Dean was a little crazier and had them eating out of his hand. Showoff. Read More

Today we walked back up to where the Space Needle is and bought tickets to a museum called the Experience Music Project. After spending $32 in admission to see it I can tell you that it ranks right up there with the flying fish market at Pike's Place. Overrated. The only cool thing about it was a giant tornado of instruments that was in the lobby. The more I got to thinking about it, it reminds me of what we do in our Third Format worship. It's kind of a whirlwind of an experience... On a random… Read More

Today Michelle and I visited Upper Queen Anne. Our hotel is in lower Queen Anne. Why are they called that you ask? A giant hill.

Seattle is gorgeous and we're getting to see some amazing… Read More

Today Michelle and I went down to the famous Pike's Place Market. There I saw the second-most overrated tourist trap in my life: the flying fish market. What was first? When I was in high school we visited the east coast and I saw the historical Plymouth Rock. I feel like I need to warn everyone not to expect much from this if you haven't seen this before. It is seriously one little shop and they don't even throw fish that often. It is just a bunch… Read More

Tonight we walked down to experience my first ever dueling piano bar called Chopstix (and we didn't have to pay the $7 cover charge per person because Michelle talked our way out of it!). It was pretty great entertainment and they had the most amazing steak sirloin strips I have ever tasted! Seriously, the flavor was so good I was enjoying licking it off my fingers...I even ordered a second plate. (This is what I'm holding in the picture below in case of confusion). After that we went to… Read More
