On our little road trip we stopped in Wenatchee, a beautiful city in central Washington. The city is divided by the Columbia River and at the bottom of a canyon. There are orchards EVERYWHERE. There will be a house or two, then an orchard, another house, and then another orchard... Apparently it's the apple capital of America. Lots of cherries and pears too.
We had a little time to burn in Wenatchee, and the kids were antsy from being in the car for hours and hours. My father-in-law took us to these cool gardens that someone told him about. They are called the Ohme gardens. At first, we didn't know what to expect. They give you walking sticks at the front gate, which the kids loved. There is a map to follow around if you wish. And they did wish, in case you were wondering. My kids are somewhat obsessed with maps.
Walking sticks + maps + cool rock staircases + hidden pools of water = Mason and Ellorie in adventure heaven. They were captivated for hours.
Here's a map of the place:
And some scenic shots from the website:
It was a great place to visit. I highly recommend going if you have the chance.
