Exploring Portland, Oregon (by William)

Live from Spring Break Road Trip (3/25/2018)

This was the day we started exploring Oregon!  We went to the International Rose Test Gardens and OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry).  The Rose Garden is home to over 10,000 roses under 600 different species, and every rose has a name.  For example, two of my favorite names are Hot Cocoa and Sunshine Daydream.  Although the roses are not in bloom, I knew that in spring, the rose gardens will be very beautiful.  OMSI has so many fascinating exhibits, and one of my favorites is the Beginning of Life.  The sperm cell produced by a male meets the egg cell produced by a female, and that encounter produces a baby.  I also found the answer of my long time question, why females have period.  It is because their ovaries release eggs, and if the eggs are not fertilized, the eggs will be flush out by blood.
