Skagit Valley Tulip Festival!!

April is probably not on many people's radar for visiting Seattle, but if you do make it here in Mid-April through the first week or so of May, you are LUCKY, because the Tulip Festival is one of the most Gorgeous things I have ever seen. Check out the website here: http://www.tulipfestival.org/

Located in Mt. Vernon, there are fields and fields of Tulip farms at their peak this time of year and are a MUST SEE. The crowds can be BRUTAL so you have to plan accordingly. I went early on Easter Sunday hoping to avoid some crowds and I got very lucky. I started at RoozenGaarde gardens, and then spread out to some of their Tulip fields. I am posting a million pics because I simply can't choose between them! There is a video of the Tulip fields at the verrrrryy bottom :) 






















Go Huskies! Purple and Gold!!!


I loved these ones that looked like they were on fire!!





















Leaving the gardens and going across the street to the first of the Tulip fields!



































The variety of tulips blew my mind!! These multi colored ones were GORGEOUS and some of my favorites. 







And the Video!



This was absolutely one of the best days so far this year.. so blessed to live in such a gorgeous place!
