Oh what a beautiful day!

Ooh, look who's visiting. Yummy food for everyone!

A nice afternoon stroll along the lake.

Fun with the showerheads! Hope you enjoyed the introductions to some new eats :) Happy renovating and we'll see you soon.

Rose City continued

Strollin' around the downtown cultural district.

Sand and rock display at the Japanese Garden.

Of course, photo infront of Niketown - just like the shot we took in Barcelona, sans Cashew.

Rose City

First a visit to the Japanese Garden - "Best in the world, outside of Japan."

Cashew's been putting her finger back in her mouth. Her right molar is in so it's the left one that must be coming in.

We visited the Historical Society and Art Museum downtown. It certainly was different with Cashew running around - we had to take turns looking at the art and then trading off to protect the art!

The Rose Test Garden - mmm, sweet.

"Dear Lord Jesus, please don't let dada pull me into the pool."
After Cashew's brush with the cold water at the beach, she was tentative in entering the pool and preferred to stay with whoever was on dry land. We only got so far as getting her feet in the pool. Hopefully next time, she'll go in for a dip. She enjoyed playing with duck though.

Beach

"Hmm, something interesting is going on over there...this is a great place to people-watch."

"No, dada. I don't want to be any closer to the noisy water."

"Hee hee, now this is more fun! Tickled by dada's scruff."
