The second weekend of July was the Oregon Lavender Festival. Since we already were going to rent a car to run some errands in preparation for a party we are helping host next weekend, we decided to make it a full day rental and go out to enjoy some of Oregon’s bounty.
When the skies turned out to be so clear and sunny, P updated the plan for us to go slighty out of our way to the Hood River lavender farms (we went to Lavender Valley) rather then the Hillsboro ones in order to get some shots of Mt Hood and Mt Adams. We are not real lavender lovers- we didn’t even buy any lavender products! But, we did get some really juicy cherries. During the festival weekend, several farms also had bbqs, wine and beer tastings, live music, and lavender related workshops
If you missed the lavender festival, some of the lavender farms, if you check the individual websites, are still open to visitors.
