Portland

Happy Birthday to me! Amber and Eric left to head for home, Maria & Tim rented a boat to go catch crabs, so my parents and I decided to go spend the day in Portland to celebrate.
The first thing we did was head to Washington Park to see their famous rose garden. I totally under estimated how cool that would be. Rows and rows of beautiful big roses.

But the main reason we went to Portland was to take a jet boat ride down the Willamette river. They warned us that we would "get wet" but I also under estimated how wet we would get. The driver would go really fast then come to an abrupt stop which would send a wave a water over the top of us. Cord did not like that and spent most of the ride hiding under a sweatshirt. The driver would also spin us around in a 360 deg turn which would soak one side of the boat. Along with the fun tricks, he showed us a lot of portland.
