The Tulips only bloom for a few weeks each year and then they are all pruned and the bulbs are harvested for sale. We made it just in time to see the last two fields that were still in bloom. Apparently, if you go a little earlier, there are Tulips in bloom for miles and miles, as far as the eye can see. It sounds amazing. As it was, it was so gorgeous! I can't wait to go another year and see all of them! What a beautiful experience.
After enjoying the Tulip fields, we drove over deception pass onto Whidbey Island for lunch. We went to the Knead and Feed Bakery and Restaurant in Coupeville. I had an amazing tomato and swiss sandwich on freshly baked bread with a bowl of clam chowder. It was so fresh and delicious tasting! Then we had a small cone of ice cream in the sun before heading back home via the Mukilteo Ferry.
It was a GREAT day with Mark, Elaine and Dottie! I had so much fun and it was great to spend some time in the sunshine and fresh air! Plus, it was just nice to get out of the house for a while :)
