We finally got down to Portland and visited the Orrs.
Powell's Bookstore was as fabulously gigantic as advertised. Definitely worth the walk.
The Rose Garden was also worth a visit and our timing was good as it stopped pouring right after we arrived.
Rune thinks that roses' best feature is their abundance of Rhino noses. Stockton seems to agree.
These are Barbra Streisand Roses. Love that.
I prefer the flower parts, myself.

After thoroughly enjoying our time with the Orrs, we headed up to Mt. St. Helens. The observatory was very informative and interesting.
The mountain was a bit elusive, but that made it all the more exciting.
A fun way to spend Labor Day weekend despite the crazy weather.
