I Need Some Suggestions

In July we will be traveling to Portland, Oregon for a wedding. We decided to make a vacation of it and we will be gone about a week. We are going to leave on the 4th of July and hope to make it to San Francisco for fireworks at Fisherman's Wharf, and are planning on staying somewhere in the vicinity. From there we are off to Portland. A co-worker has recommended going to the International Rose Garden, a waterfall that I can't remember the name right now, and Mt. Hood. We have a week to explore the area and I need a few more ideas. Any suggestions? She also said that the blackberry shakes are the best. I'm excited to try one. Alden's old friend from Elementary and Middle School is getting married on July 12th. I've never been up that way and I think it will be neat to see. Maybe I can convince Alden to take me to Seattle too. I've heard that dinner at the Space Needle is fun.

Until next time...
