Towards the end of Spring Break the girls (my mom and sisters) decided it was time to make the “annual” trip up to the Tulip Festival. As little girls we used to always go the tulips and hide in the fields for pictures. The forecast for the Tulip Festival was not promising. It had snowed the week before, there hadn’t been much sunshine for the tulips to begin to open.

When we left in the morning we were having a great time in the car. When we were about halfway up to Burlington I realized that my mother’s speedometer was not working. She said that it had been broken for awhile. I could not get over the fact that we were driving up to Burlington without a speedometer. Luckily we got there safely. We had a great lunch and headed off to see some tulips.

As we were driving to the fields there didn’t seem to be any tulips in sight. As we drove closer to the Roozengaard fields we realized that we might not have been there for the Tulip Festival, but rather to see a million Daffodils. We quickly pulled on our galoshes and we were out in the fields. Finley loved the tulips (I know he is not part of the girls, but he comes with a girl). He enjoyed smelling them, laying in the grass, and playing with the tents at the fields.

After we had enough at looking at daffodils and some tulips we decided it was time to go shopping at the GAP outlet in Burlington. Of course we found some stuff we just had to have, and then moved onto Costco (who can resist when it is right next door). We had a soda and walked around. When we got back to the car we discovered a flat tire. Not necessarily part of our plan, but definitely made it more of an adventure. We had planned on getting home at 7:00, but by the time we pulled into my driveway it was 10:30.

What a day!
