Tonight, I leave for a three day weekend in the Emerald City visiting my friend, KB!! KB is such a gracious host and I'm looking forward to seeing "her world" for a couple days. She has got our agenda jam packed which plays well with my personality. Let's go, let's see, let's have a great time and maximize these three days.
A brief disclaimer from my tour guide:
...it [the agenda] can be revised at your whim, but I hold ultimate line item veto power, this is not a democracy, this is a tour-ocracy and I'm the reigning tour-o-crat...Bottom line, get ready for a great adventure...I've kinda overpacked the agenda (emphasis added)...so don't be surprised if there isn't a checkmark by everything, that doesn't mean we won't still have the bestest weekend getaway ever.
Here are some of places we have on our agenda to visit along with a preview of my accomodations:
- ORIGINAL Starbucks' -- Is there anything better than a trip to the original Starbucks?
- Safeco Field for a Mariners' game vs. Chi Sox
- Pike Place Market for breakfast and a little fish catching
- REI Mothership Store -- good thing I get paid tomorrow
- Bainbridge Island
- Seattle's historic Pioneer Square
- Belltown nightlife
- Cascade Mountains
- Snoqualmie Falls
- Macrina Bakery
- Driving tour of the city
- Mars Hill Church with Pastor Mark Driscoll
- Old Town Ballard Farmer's Market
My accomodations -- Suite by the Sound -- Five star quality room complete with a FREE mini bar and welcome basket.
Additonally, my tour guide was gracious enough to schedule training time into my agenda so that I can stay on track. She even included some motivational quotes like "get up you lazy slacker" and "your competition is not on vacation" to push me through a couple weekend runs.
On top of all of this fun, I'm going to meet David and Christa -- two of KB's Seattle friends. IT WILL BE A BLAST!!!
Watch for updates and pictures throughout the trip.
