Seattle to Redmond

So if you didn’t know, I headed up to Redmond, WA for a Microsoft conference for higher education.  I was supposed to leave on Friday, but 30 minutes into the flight they captain  informed us that we were turning around due to a mechanical failure.  Turned out I got bumped to the next day, which stunk because it meant I lost the better part of a day in Seattle.  But anyways….

Once I got into Seattle I headed to the hotel before checking out the Experience Music Project.  A little while into it I realized I wasn’t supposed to be taking pictures.  Opps……

The cone of guitars made me sad because I wish I had just one of them.  The other guitar is one of the first Fender Strats.  Pretty awesome.  I also got to see Hendrix’s guitars.  Well worth the trip.

The next day I hit up Pike Place Market.  I decided to do it as part of a tour, and I recommend checking out Savor Seattle Tours.  It seems kind of expensive but you really get to eat a ton of food and I tried things I would have never found otherwise.

After that it was time to head to the conference.  The kick off was at Red Hook Ale House, which was pretty awesome.
