Last weekend, my fabulous sister-in-law Cheriss, myself and a good friend, attended the twenty-Sixth Annual Tulip Festival in Mt. Vernon, Washington on bikes. It’s not an event to miss! The pictures turned out great but they just don’t give the magnitude of the event any justice. I guess it’s hard to capture 1,500 acres of colorful tulips in bloom.
Along with the beautiful weather, we enjoyed local food, music, art, shops and produce and we were joined by hundreds tourists from all over the country.
Here’s a field map if you live in the area and are interested in a jaw dropping experience. Better hurry, though! They’ve been in bloom for a couple of weeks and mother nature determines their schedule!
