Photos From the Road: Owen Rose Garden in Eugene, Oregon

Here's the first in a series of photo posts from this summer's road trip to San Francisco, Oregon, and the Sierras!

The day after our daughter's graduation from the University of Oregon we visited Owen Rose Garden in Eugene, where I snapped some of these gorgeous flowers.

The Rose Garden is a beautiful spot which is definitely worth a stop when visiting Eugene.

We also visited Camp Putt, the prettiest mini golf course I've ever seen, after which we had lunch at neighboring Roaring Rapids Pizza. This was our beautiful riverside view during lunch:

Our day also include driving to the top of Skinner Butte, which has nice views of Eugene:

It's easy to see why we enjoy spending time in Oregon, aside from visiting our daughter and son-in-law!
