Anyone who knows me, knows that I was raised in a DUTCH family. So, it should come as no surprise to anyone that I love tulips. If it isn't the Dutch national flower (do they even have one?), it should be. Everyone thinks of tulips when they think of Holland.
But I digress...
I went to the Woodburn Tulip Festival with my mom and two of my sisters (and assorted children) on Wednesday. My poor niece, Jen, couldn't get near the place this past (sunny) weekend. No wonder since I heard an employee say that they had 10,000 cars come through over the weekend. I am trying to wrap my head around that number. How could one see the tulips for all the tourists, anyway?
Wednesday had very little sun, though I was lucky enough to get a great photo when it did. Ready? This is awesome:
I took hundreds of shots and that is my absolute best one.
A couple of other photos...my mom...the cloudy field with violet sky...etc. Enjoy!
Those are utterly gorgeous. As you probably know, northern WA (LaConner) has a Tulip Festival also.

Ooh! That is a good one! I still haven't unloaded the pictures from my camera. Maybe tonight...
I think you might have had a bit more of the sunshine for your morning visit. It was pretty cloudy by the time we got there, but all was well because it did not rain. Any trip to the tulip farm that doesn't bring a bucket of mud into the car is a good one, in my book :)
