Pike Place and more...

So, on Saturday I headed down to Seattle for a day of just hanging out with the folks at the Shop (Guys I lived with my last year at UW). There were actually some other out-of-towners there, so we headed downtown for breakfast at a crumpet shop near Pike Place. Man, I don't think I've ever had a fresh-baked crumpet before (I can't recall the last time I've even eaten a crumpet) , but was delicious. Then we wandered around downtown a little, and found a little music shop with a lot of interesting acoustic instruments.

After that we headed back to the Shop, hung out, jammed, grabbed teryaki on the Ave, and generally did nothing all afternoon. It was grand. I ended up heading home early evening because I was pretty tired (jetlag induced, I'm sure) and some people had other engagements that evening. I'll get to see them all again on Thursday though for Stephen's birthday... The other reason I decided to go home early was that I was playing drums in my parents' church (FBC), since the normal drummer was out. That went well. Kind of a flashback to high school days when I did that every week.
