PGA Boeing Classic at Snoqualmie Ridge - August 2007

Club House
Boeing flyover was a Korean Air 777 to be delivered next week.
Awesome when it swooped over Mt. Si and down over the golf course!
18th hole from the Club House dinning room.
Mt. Si/Cascades in the background.
We walked the back 9 on Saturday. What a view of the mountains!

This is the 10th hole that is behind the homes across the street from our home.

The Cascades are in the background.

Sunday we walked the front 9 with George, Bud, Jim

Peg and I.

You can see the day started out cloudy and cool but didn't last long! 70 and sunny!

Our home is in Bandera which is off in the background!
Now I have an idea where this golf course winds around our subdivisions.

More views!

14th hole......they t-off at the top of the hill and have to get across this gorge over 300 feet.

Another magical week end!!

Last day in Seattle with the Backes' at the Pacific Science Center

Waiting in line for our tickets........the Space Needle in the clouds!

We had great weather so a cloudy day was OK for an indoor event!

You in the midwest would love our natural air conditioning right now.......70 degrees!

Tour of Boeing and Ride the Ducks

Four F-15's just back from Afghanistan.

An unexpected surprise!
These F-15's were VERY LOUD!!

We "Rode the Ducks" all over town and into Lake Union.

Connor informed me that this was an amphibious vehicle!
