Henry Pittock was the owner of The Oregonian (Portland's daily newspaper) 100 years ago. He built this mansion on the top of one of Portland’s highest hills in the early 1900s. You can see five giant mountains from the grounds…that is, unless it’s cloudy, which, of course, it was. We couldn’t see any of the five. Bummer.
We did see the inside of the mansion, though. This is the master bedroom shower, which can shoot water at you from every direction imaginable.
Portland’s Japanese Gardens were our next stop…
…followed by the International Rose Test Gardens. Portland isn’t called the “City of Roses” for nothing.
We love vacations!
