Tulips Everywhere!

Alisha says: Visiting the tulip fields in Mount Vernon has been on my list of things to do for quite a while. From what I read online about them, they usually bloom mid to late April but because we have had such a mild winter they bloomed much earlier this year. We planned a weekday trip in order to try to avoid the crowds. It still seemed busy and was hard to get pictures without people in them but we still had a great time walking around the fields. I think Dave was getting annoyed by the end with all of the pictures I wanted to take. I couldn't help myself, it was so beautiful. The big fields of such vibrant colors were really amazing.

After visiting the tulip fields we then did a 6.5 mile hike to Oyster Dome. It was a great hike through the forest to a rock with an amazing view out to the San Juan Islands.
