What a beautiful day! We knew we needed to be outside enjoying the lovely weather while it lasted. We decided to take a trip to the Japanese Gardens up in Washington park. We loaded the stroller, Emma and camera equipment into the car, and headed out. Once we arrived at Washington Park, it was obvious that all of Portland had the same idea, and we could not find a parking spot. We decided to change our startigy, and headed to the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Gardens in Westmoreland, over by the Reed College campus. We were pleased to find that there was hardly anyone there, and we had a lovely walk.
If you have never been to Crystal Springs, we highly recommend it. The flowers were no longer in bloom this lovely October day, however the ducks were fun to watch, and the marshes are beautiful. It is a lovely little piece of paradise in the middle of town. We got lots of wonderful photos of Emma and us, and had a blast together.
