Our Last Few Days in Cooktown

It is now Thursday evening. On Saturday we catch a plane to Cairns, where we spend two nights and fly our for the States on Monday.
Our time in Cooktown has revolved around soaking in the essence of Norther Queensland and having family time with our daughter Sarah and her family. We have had some great moments with the grandkids.










Today we took Mason out of school early. We explored downtown Cooktown a bit, had a soda, and then headed out to the golf course.










The golfing was a real hit. Neither Jayne nor I have ever taken up the game, but Jayne did take a PE course in college! Mason actually scored better than we did for the four holes we played. Mason is a natural athlete and is good at any sport he tries.
An even bigger hit, was us letting him drive the golf cart. Both our daughters have fond memories of my parents taking them golfing and letting them drive the golf cart at their retirement home in Cherokee Village, AR. One of the favorite stories is when Sarah took off in the golf cart while my Mother was still standing, and Mom fell out! I don't think we heard that story until years after it happened.
We had a great day with Mason!
