Spring has sprung in the Pacific Northwest! The days are getting longer, the rain is subsiding (sometimes), the sun is shining more, and the tulips are growing!
Last week Luke's mom was able to come and visit for a few days. She brought the good weather with her too, so we decided to make a trip to the Tulip Festival in Mt. Vernon. It was a beautiful afternoon with sunny skies and 70-degree weather. The fields are really amazing. It's the most beautiful display of colors and they seem to go on forever. Here are some photos from our little excursion!
Not sure what I'm doing here, but I believe it was just a display of excitement :)
Welcome to the tulips!
My favorite part about this photo is the strip of yellow tulips in the back. So amazing!
Trying to take some pictures of the tulips from above...
Then I illegally walked between the rows of tulips and we tried to take some jumping shots. We weren't too successful -- as you can see, my jumping skills leave much to be desired.
Can you even believe how beautiful this is? The yellow ones are my favorite!
After the tulips we drove a few minutes to Deception Pass, a bridge that connects the mainland with Whidbey Island. It's a beautiful view and you can see out across the sound all the way to the San Juan Islands.
It was a fabulous day -- and of course, we finished it off with a delicious seafood dinner :)
