Seattle! (Part One)

I am on Spring Break this week which is absolutely fabulous! On Friday, I was able to leave good old Chicago and got to head out to the Pacific Northwest to visit a college friend of mine, Lisa. During the weekend, I had a wonderful time attending my very first un-birthday party (shhh! don't ask how old the birthday girl, Maria is...) Maria is the one in the background on the left. We had such a fun time playing some good old fashioned camp/party games. What a hoot!


The next morning, Lisa and I headed to church for Palm Sunday. It was a wonderful service. Afterwards, a few of us headed to the nearest Starbucks (literally just a few steps away from the church...What is Seattle/Washington without its coffee and coffee breaks). Fun was had by all. Paige even managed to bring with her a can of whip cream...it may appear that she is dissatisfied with the cream that Starbucks has to offer, but it was merely a gift from a friend at church for the upcoming week's hot chocolate Young Life endeavors.

Later that day, Lisa and I set out to hang out and explore around the great Seattle area. The weather was cloudy with sun peeking through, but it was quite enjoyable. We meandered through the streets of Fremont and happened to catch a few scenic views of the city.


At the end of the evening, Lisa and I found ourselves goofy as usual, indulging in some tasty Altoids in the car. Who couldn't appreciate a nice cool and refreshing way to freshen your breath?



This concludes the first part of the journey. Stay tuned for more.
