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…

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.

It is seriously one little shop and they don’t even throw fish…

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…
