Our daughter Lori has been recovering from a horrible fall that has included many surgeries and a shut- down of her life, as she knew it, for the past two years! Finally she was able to make the trip up to Oregon for a visit. We spent 5 days hugging and laughing and eating and seeing some of the amazing sights in and around Beaverton, Oregon.
She wanted to see the Rose Garden more than anything and it supposedly opens April first - not a flower or a leaf except for the bulbs blooming out in the parking lot -so we will do that next visit!!
DAY ONE - We took the train to Washington Park and then the bus to the Rose Garden- nope - and then circled back down to the zoo to see the U Tube made famous porcupines, Nolina and Sharpie. Sharpie was in his warm hut recovering from tooth surgery and Nolina was pacing back and forth waiting for her trainer to bring lunch! So cute - they are taken for a walk around the zoo every morning to greet the other animals. Nice day!
