Ben's fiancee, Daphne, flew in to visit as well for a long weekend on Wednesday night. By that point both Jesse and I were already two days into a pretty nasty cold. Jesse was mostly better by Thursday, but mine continued to get worse, ending in a tragic hacking cough that peaked on Friday. In spite of my cold, we still went out and saw the city in bits and pieces, but I declined to go on a hike to Multnomah falls Saturday morning -- still feeling short of breath. I'm sad that I missed a beautiful day. However, I'm glad that I stayed home and rested because the weather was gorgeous again yesterday and we took a walk to Washington Park to see the International Rose Test Garden and Portland Japanese Garden.
While the roses were mostly past their peak, it was wonderful to see all of the fall colors in the Japanese Garden. The trees looked like they were on fire. It was a great fall day here in Portland. We followed our day in the park with a delicious dinner and a round of Trivial Pursuit. Jesse and I lost, but it was lots of fun! Ben and Daphne are heading home today. It was wonderful having them here to visit.
