Tiptoeing Through the Tulips at the Skagit County Tulip Festival! Part I

Some of you who have known me for a while know that I am a complete tulip nerd. I grew up in an area that had/has quite a few people with Dutch heritage. There, tulips were almost synonymous with the concept of Spring. Many folks planted tulips in their yards, went to a local tulip festival, and I even played and marched 5 or 6 years in my schools’ bands in the tulip festival parade. So it’s no surprise I wanted to see the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival in western Washington. Read and view more about the experience!
