| SKAGIT VALLEY TULIP FESTIVAL Sunday, April 26, 2009 We got up early this day to beat the crowds to the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. Vast fields of yellow and white daffodils and multi-colored tulips bloom in April and irises in May. We reached our first field right about 9am: row upon row of yellow daffodils. The morning was a bit hazy, obscuring the mountains, but the foothills and nearby farm buildings made for a pretty view. Further down the road we parked alongside several fields of tulips of many varieties: red, yellow, pink, and more. We spent about an hour wandering these fields. It held the interest of the kids, who all took turns with the camera. The crowds were building up, so we moved along to the Roozengaarde display garden. The garden had been expanded since our last visit and the facilities increased to handle the many visitors. Here you can find hundreds of varieties of tulips and other flowers. Nearly every flower bed was in peak bloom on this day - a gorgeous sight. Later in the day on the way back from Deception Pass, we stopped by the Berry Barn - a nice gift shop with local products and homemade pies - for ice cream cones.
