After we finish there, you have to take me to Forks for a few days of Twilight madness. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I can't help it.<br /><br />Love, MissyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4235321197216000577.post-13650410442907262892009-06-07T19:38:58.160-07:002009-06-07T19:38:58.160-07:00Yep, David, Deanna, --- going to Leavenworth was ...Yep, David, Deanna, --- going to Leavenworth was always something the boys and I looked forward to each year. Being an impoverished college student, single mom of three sons (ranging from 2/12 yrs to 12, with David being in the middle, between 7 and 8 yrs old) going to Leavenworth was a BIG deal each summer. Usually, we only had enough money saved up for two big ice cream cones as our only treat once we got there. <br /><br />The 3 boys were great about sharing; your David, of course, being the biggest "Ice Cream Monster" in the family (which said family could inhale a whole half gallon of ice cream in 5 minutes flat) got his bigger portion by virtue of having the talent to suck an entire scoop of ice cream right off the top of a double cone before his brothers could beat him to death.<br /><br />Leavenworth has only gotten better since those growing-up years, when a road summer trip vacation was three boys, a cooler with PBJB sandwiches, a thermos of cool aid and some bruised apples, and a whole lot of time to kill. <br /><br /> They walked me to death at Leavenworth. We usually stopped by the Hydro Park on the Wenatchee River, on the way back home, so the boys could play in the water and sand, while I passed out from fatigue on an aluminum lounge chair under a shady tree. We could make the entire trip on $5 worth of gas, and about $5 more for the cones. I never realized that those trips meant so much to my sons. Just goes to show you, money isn't everything to kids when they are young.<br /><br />So glad you could share one of your growing-up memorable places with Deanna, David. Say, how did you get to be 29 overnight?!! - Love, MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4235321197216000577.post-7928844640829372592009-06-02T09:45:08.651-07:002009-06-02T09:45:08.651-07:00That was such a fun day for me too!

I haven't been there in over 15 years, when my mom would take all of us boys down there in the summer for family vacation.<br /><br />As for "perfect spots to explore", there's a whole big list left over for that area! We should go down there again for more fun later this summer!Davidnoreply@blogger.com
