For my birthday this year, we kept it pretty chill. After a delicious La Provence breakfast, we spent the afternoon strolling through the Portland Japanese Garden. This was our first time visiting the garden. I was happy to spend my birthday amongst nature, studying moss, and watching the rain glisten on leaves. It was quite serene.
