The Rose Festival

It's Rose festival time, a huge thing in Portland! Its a week long waterfront festival full of parades, a carnival, sailors are everywhere, all sorts of ships docked, it's pretty cool. Vince and I went on Friday night to watch the fireworks show. Seriously one of the best I've ever seen, and apparently the Fourth of July is even better. We walked around the carnival, ate "fair food", checked out the 2 pirate ships, had amazing frozen yogurt from Active Culture (they had a vendor booth but normally their store is in inner se pdx), then sat and watched the fireworks show. I was able to take a few pix but fireworks are tricky to take pictures of.
