Leavenworth Golf Course



A couple weeks ago, we spent about 6 days or so up in beautiful central Washington. Marti's parents live right in the Cascade Mountains in a small town called Cashmere Washington. It is near a larger city called Wenatchee. Wenatchee is a river city as it is located on the Columbia River. About as big as the Mississippi, but about 10X's prettier. I know, I have seen them both.

Scott, Marti's dad took Jaden, Britten and me golfing to the Leavenworth Golf Course while we were there. The golf course is located in Leavenworth Washington, a Bavarian Village. The course has a pretty river that runs right by it. The Wenatchee River.

Jaden and Britten really enjoy golfing and especially with their grandpa. Grandpa got them both really nice kids golf clubs for their birthday and they have been out a couple times to play since. They play all the time in the back yard with the practice balls I got for them.

Jaden's shot is coming around as he is starting to develop a decent swing for a 7-year old. Britten still has some work as many times we need to turn him in the right direction before he tee's off right at us. But it is funny anyways. Scott and I were allowing JD and Britten to tee off, then pick up their ball and drop where Scott and I had hit to. On a few holes, I let JD just play all the way to the green with his little iron. On the last hole, he played from the tee until he hit the ball in the hole. It was a 160 yard par 3. I think he actually got a 7 on the hole which wasn't bad for his second official time out. He nearly chipped in a shot from about 40 feet. It hit the stick and spun off about 3 inches.

As always, our Washington trip was full of fun and great eats. We love it up there and always want to move back after we visit. We'd love it there, but we are where were supposed to be. At least for now....
