Rose Festival

Over the weekend, we joined in the Rose Festival fun by viewing the floats from the Grand Floral Parade, and then enjoying a fun walk that included checking out the dragon boat races. I've never watched the dragon boat races before, and was surprised at how fun it was. We were able to sit just off the river bank and see them close-up, as well as a great scenic overview from the Hawthorne Bridge. Franny called them the "snake boats". Everyone had a great time--it feels like summer is finally here.
