Tulip Festival 2010

It was now two years in a row that we went to Tulips Festival in Skagit here in Washington. This year we had the perfect timing because the tulips are in full bloom and some of them are still blooming. Last year, when we went there all of them are already in full bloom and most had been harvested. The kids had a great time!

Gabz got confused which color she would pick to have her picture taken. LOL ! Actually she wanted to be in purple tulips, but since that was quite far her dad asked her to pose beside the yellow tulips...this is her reaction.



A family picture, how come I was sleeping? Hmm maybe tulips made me sleepy :-) Just kidding, they are so beautiful, that I ended up buying two bunches of tulips and ordered 50 bulbs to be delivered by Oct.


I love this shot! The kids enjoyed watching the kite. Actually they started running underneath them after a long walk at the tulips field. Miki even asked his dad to buy one.

We had a great time and hungry after a while. We headed to lunch at the famous grilled salmon in the middle of the park.

Tulips Festival

Tulips Festival at Skagit Valley Washington State is very famous with its acres and acres of tulips. This festival runs from April 1 to 30 every year, but this year they extended up to 10 of May due to tulip late bloom and for Mothers Day celebration.

We made a short trip last weekend (an hour from our place) to visit the place. Full of tulips indeed !!! Gosh, I never seen such vast land full of tulips.

It was so beautiful that you wanted to pick all of them. Unfortunately, you are not allowed to pick a single stem nor bring out the fallen petals outside the fields.

We visited one part of the festival, since it was already quite late in its season and almost all of it has been harvested. We paid five dollars at the entrance, otherwise during its full season you could just drive and stop along the road to smell and appreciate these flowers.

Just like what Gabz has been doing to almost all the tulips she could grab. She enjoyed a lot, she loves flowers just like me. In every color of tulips grown, she asked her Dad to took her picture.

This is my favorite shot, look at her eyes, the amazament, awe, bewilderment are all written in her face. She keeps on telling me..."They are so beautiful, Mommy." It was really so lovely.


In the midst of red tulips in full bloom. They are like magnet that pulls you towards them, they entice you, soothed your moods and makes you relaxed. I dont know about you, but flowers always makes me smile and lighten me up !
