Skagit Valley Tulip Festival

I decided since there was no school Friday that my daughter and I would go to the Tulip Festival.  I looked at the weather and knew it was going to rain.  So the night before we had boots and umbrellas ready. My husband thought I was crazy. Why not what for better weather like maybe Sunday? Well with better weather and on the weekend also comes more people. I grew up in Forks, WA I can handle a little rain. I would rather go with less people.
So 4:15 am Friday morning we were up getting ready to go. I am NOT a morning person so this was a little difficult for me. My daughter was bright eyed and bushy tailed.* sigh*  We made it to the 6:30 Port Townsend ferry with plenty of time to spare. We arrived in La Conner a little after 8:00, so we found a little place to have breakfast. Then we headed for Roozen Gaarde. Their display garden area was beautiful. It is hard to believe they redesign and replant the display gardens every year.












My daughter's favorite color is orange, so these were her favorites.



This display with the purple, hot pink, and orange was my favorite.
After we looked at all the display gardens, we headed across the street to the very muddy fields.

I think being different, going against the grain of society is the greatest thing in the world.
