Skagit Valley Tulip Festival

Posted by: buzz, in aaaawwww, photos, romance, travel, us eh

The family went looking for spring yesterday. Sick of the snow, we packed up and headed south like any good Canadian bird would do.

We stopped at Burlington and to have some snacks at Krispy Kreme.

Z didn’t actually eat any Krispy Kreme donuts in that photoshoot. It was all cleverly staged. We’re rookie parents, but not crazy! Jen was just out of the lens with a bucket of baby wipes to soak him down!

Then we went out into the flats between LaConner and Mount Vernon - the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival was in full bloom, and if you can make it down within the next week or so, this is a little bit of what you should see.

Y’know, sometimes it takes courage to be unique.

    Thanks for sharing your search for spring. (Will it ever come to Vancouver?) I would have loved to see Z eat the donut. Kids get messy! Relax, parents. ;)

    I love your “diversity” shot, too.

    You just gave me the perfect destination for my first road trip in my new wheels. Here I was just going to go to University Square in Seattle and shop, but now I can be creative instead and save some $$.
