What is the craziest thing that you’ve ever been in the middle of? I haven’t run with the bulls or anything, but this one time…
We had just made some friends in Seattle (finally!) and they invited us out to a couple bars. I of course don’t remember the name of the last place we were […]
Seattle, Breakfast, & Sunday
Closed Published by Jonathan Dodson March 14th, 2009 on Creation ProjectIt’s Saturday. I just returned from Seattle where I participated in the Acts 29 bootcamp, connected with other planters, and assessed some men for church planting. Seattle was cold and cool. We had one of the best breakfast meals I have ever had. Breakfast is a big deal for our family. We’ve made a point […]
Living in 100 degree weather for 8 years had some effect on me. In Seattle it was fine to wear jeans and a sweater all summer, but here in San Diego you’re on the beach! You want to wear a swim suit! Maybe a sundress! The weather living on the water is very inconsistent. […]
What do you do with your extra special, last visitor? Why, the best stuff ever, of course. ND got to see all the staples: the library, Shorty’s, the Locks, and the city. But he also got a 7 mile walk through the parks and waterfront. He also got us up the Columbia Tower free. We […]
Last weekend MK took me on a great big drive from Seattle up into the Olympics. It was beautiful. The weather wasn’t great but the rain held off during the day and we were able to do some really great hikes. We stopped first at Lake Crescent, where FDR stayed when he made it a […]
Rounding up my firsts from last week was the Giant Super Crazy Fishing Trip.
Not only did I learn how to make lures and tie and weight and bobber the whole operation (not that I could pass any sort of pop quiz), I learned the skill of acquiring dinner.
First, getting ready.
You have to know how to […]
Shh, don’t tell anyone, but last week another adventure of ours was checking out Snoqualmie Falls. I mentioned it once before (click here for that post). This time the weather was much better, and we did the hike to the bottom, and jumped the fence, right next to the big sign that said don’t jump […]
Since there are so many things that I’ve done this week and want to share with you, I started with the easiest - the individual pictures. We spend most of the first of NN’s day in Seattle doing the ‘touristy’ stuff.
Here’s my favorite that I’ve ever taken at the Fremont Troll:
And here’s a good one […]
It’s going to be complicated relating my past week to you, as I’ve had more firsts and more excitement than in quite some time. Of course, it’s always more fun to share through pictures. Thing is, we took something like 257. So it’s going to take a little while for me to find the best […]
Just thought you might like to see a beautiful picture MK took as we left Seattle.
