Heather and I visited the International Rose Test Garden to check out the blooming roses.  A few years ago I visited the same garden in Portland with Zach and Vera.

We spotted some Portland Hipsters enjoying a sit on the grass.  One wasn’t wearing any shoes.

There was a wedding reception going on in the lower bowl of the ampetheater at the rose garden.  A whole flock of people were sitting around on the upper bowls watching the reception.  As beautiful of a place as it is to have a reception, it would be rather awkward for the guests to have all those people watching you eat.
