Tulips and more!

Its a bright and sunny Saturday in April and if you live in Seattle, you know that doesn't happen very much. That's just understating it really, more like a freak accident. So there it was, bang in the middle of the wonderful rains and clouds came a shocking shiny blue day and we decide to chug off to see the flowers! And what a ride it was  we chugged and chugged but got, not too far! It seemed the whole state had decided it was time to see those tulips! Now what are the odds of that happening!

Three hours later we actually do manage to reach Skagit valley, in what should have a been an hour's (or so) worth of ride, but guess what? Oh yes, you would have to fly across the row of cars waiting to take exit 226 and you still wouldn't be able to land!

Two miles to the tulips and no way is sight. It was nothing short of a miracle that we actually got did reach. And what a sight for sore eyes those glowing fields of tulips were! Extraordinarily set in the valley beneath the Cascades, rows and rows of endless beauty!

And so ended our day in the sun. Wondering how was the ride back? Just over an hour. Makes you want to smile, doesn't it?
