We woke to rain on Saturday, but since it's the last weekend of the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival, we ate breakfast early and drove the hour or so to Tulip Town to see the late bloomers. I'm told the blooms peaked more than a week ago, but there was still a lot of color, even in the drizzle, and it wasn't at all crowded, which was nice. There's an indoor tulip market and because it's a Dutch tradition, there are soft pretzels along with the hot chocolate that was necessary today!
We stopped in Bellevue on the way home to pick up a prescription, and by the time we arrived in our parking lot, the sun was trying to come out. So we took a walk on the dock and found nine of the ducklings -- not sure if this is a new family or if the families of six and twelve that we saw have rearranged themselves. Dinner was quick because Adam and Haley are landing at SeaTac at around 10:30 tonight, and we're going to pick them up and drive them to Fremont!
