Anniversary

We celebrated our second anniversary this Tuesday with a trip to Portland's International Rose Test Garden.

We saw lots of roses with interesting names. There were roses named after Audrey Hepburn, John F. Kennedy, and Reba McIntire, among others. Here is Alison posing with "Rock N Roll."


This one is called "Lagerfeld". (It's kind of hard to see, but the rose is a very pale lavender color.)
Brandon poses with "Black Magic," which is supposed to be the "blackest" rose in the garden (looks pretty red to me). Alison tries to be artsy with the photography.
Our romantic anniversary date wouldn't be complete without a monkey sighting...

..and a bat sighting.

Happy anniversary...of course I should know when your anniversary is - Lindsay's birthday! We saw The Dark Knight for our anniversary too. (last night.) Totally not my thing, gave it a chance, and it still is not my thing.

Love the black rose.

What a perfect way to spend your anniversary!!! We saw a rose garden in Canada, at Buschart Gardens (sp)?
I was amazed at the many different varieties, colors. I found the Mr. Lincoln rose and was impressed with its beauty. Aunt Bobby would have loved the light lavender one you found. Glad you had a wonderful celebration.
