Crushing Disappointment In Rose Colored Rainbows

 We had hoped to go to the Portland Zoo. I was so thrilled when we pulled into the parking on a sunny afternoon and found parking places close to the gate.  Parking places near the gate are always cause for celebration.  Why, it was a minor miracle.  The heavens had opened up and God Himself decided it was time to bless Dapoppin's with a primo parking place.  However, when we parked, I discovered to my dismay (and oh the crushing disappointment) that the zoo had already changed to fall hours and was closed. Closed!!!
 So, we went to the Portland Rose Test Gardens.

Well, the zoo is always fun, and I'm sorry you weren't able to go there, but wow, the rose gardens look absolutely gorgeous!
