It is still so strange to me that we can drive to downtown Portland in 20 minutes. After a long week, JD and I went to the International Rose Test Gardens for a change of scenery before he spent the rest of his Saturday studying. It was overcast and cool, a very welcome change from the 100 degree sunny weather we have had the past week. We had fun walking around taking pictures, sniffing roses, and looking at the names of all the different roses. They have everything from Fragrant Cloud to Betty Boop to Ketchup and Mustard. I was a fan of the Octoberfest Roses (second ones down on the left), and that was even before I knew what they were named. It was a quick get away and it was fantastic.
