My Portland "bucket list"

Well...I'm moving to California. I'm leaving town on August 2nd! I still can't believe it, but, I've given my roommate and my landlord their notice, so I guess that makes it pretty official!

Before I take off, I've decided that there are certain things I need to do in the area that I just haven't gotten around to in the 10 years that I've lived here. So, I'll be blogging about the things on my list once I've accomplished them. I've already got 3 checked off my list! Go me!

The first thing on my list was the Portland Rose Gardens. I've been there multiple times before, but, I've never been there when everything was fully blooming. Well, I made it up there a couple of weeks ago, and my timing was perfect. All the roses were showing off their stuff, and it was gorgeous! I went the day after a rainstorm, so everything was still wet and covered with raindrops. I think that added a nice touch to the experience! Here are some of my favorite pictures from the day...
