Portland, Oregon September 15, 16, 17, 2010






When we first drove into Portland we saw a huge tram that went to a building at the top of a hill. We decided then that we wanted to ride it so that was our first outing after checking into our hotel. It was a lot of fun and gave us a great view of the city. I was a little nervous because it was so high up.

We went and saw the Portland temple. It was beautiful. It was all marble and the flowers there were gorgeous. Everything here is so green and lush!!

Portland is called the rose capital of the world and we definitely found out why. We visited the rose gardens and they were just beautiful!!! I think they have every kind of rose there ever was. They were gorgeous!! We spent a lot of time just walking and looking at all the roses. There was also a holocaust memorial in the park that we visited. Amazing!! There is no way you could read all the comments and walk away with dry eyes. It was very touching.

We went to the OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry). What a blast!!! The boys loved it. We couldn't get them to leave. We had planned to go to a huge corn maze but the had so much fun at the science museum that we ended up staying there all afternoon.
