Seattle Day 2

I woke up this morning to sunshine. After packing everything back up, I headed to the workshop hotel in downtown Seattle. I had planned to not move but when I went to actually make the reservation, I could not get the first 2 nights. The people were friendly and helpful. They gave me a van ride in the morning to the light rail station just down the street about a mile. Last night I just walked back to the hotel as it was such a nice night.

I left luggage with the bell hop for storage and then discovered that my room was ready. I had joined the hotel reward program and got a room with a nice view down to the dock. After I checked out the room, I headed off to finish looking at the Klondike Gold Rush Museum. Then it was lunch at "Yummy Tummy". This is a Korean resturant, very small (about 4 tables and 3 stools at counter at the front windows. I got vegetable pancake and bipmbop. These were dishes that I had often when I was in Korea last year. It sure was good!

After lunch I took the monorail to the Space Needles. After standing in line for tickets, it took 45 more minutes to get up to the elevator. For Seattle, I would say that it was a clear day but still hard to see the mountain tops. Included in the pice of the ticket was a free picture. They take the picture in front of a white screen and then you can choice the backdrop. I took a quick look while at the top of the needle and emailed the picture to my email. I can continue to change the backgrounds and send copies to family and friends. Tonight might be a good time to look at the picture and see if I can attach it later. With the luck I had last night of adding pictures, I don't know if I will be able. A couple people on the staff may be able to help me figure out how to add pictures where I want in the blog and not just having all of them at the beginning.

After an early dinner, I headed back to the hotel. John, Carly, Jeff, Steve and 2 other staff members were in the lobby talking with other participants. It was fun getting to meet people, especially those that had posted items on the group facebook page. One of the ladies, said she just happened to run into bubble gum wall and recognized it from my post.

Tomorrow morning starts the workshop portion of the fellowship. Registration starts at 8:15am and the actual workshop at 9am. During registration, everyone gets their picture taken for our nametags. These nametags allow us on all the excursions, workshops and special treats during the workshop.

Time to head up to the room and download a few pictures before heading to bed.
