tip toe through the tulips
whew, yesterday was a whirlwind day. started off with driving up to shoreline to meet with Mary and Brian where we dilly dally for a few and take her mom's dog home to her mom. then we load up the car and whoosh! we start up to the Tulip Festival (aka - drunkard's ball). we get up to La Conner and bask in the glow from about three different wineries in the area. tasted some of this... some of that... little more of this topped with that. it was really fun. and i brought back and amazing pineapple wine along with a blackberry wine. they're pretty much dessert wines but they are fantastic.
when we got to the tulip fields it was turned out to be an amazing site. acres upon acres of tulips. we hit the smaller of the three fields just because it was the cheapest. but it was by no means small. so we took some fun pictures, evident below, and tromped through the tulips to watch all of the people take their own pictures - tourist city. after we had our fill of the fields we went to a brewery in La Conner and tried some "tulip beer"... i mean, it's a tulip festival - you gotta try the tulip beer. just tasted like ESB. not up my alley.
oh! i spotted a bald eagle. that was pretty nifty. now i'm hungry. hungry like the wolf.
as soon as i rolled back into shoreline i was rushed right back up to everett for a house warming. i've never seen so much booze surrounded by so few people. ha. but it was a good time. and since i wore my cowboy belt last night i felt it was only right to line dance to their ghetto R&B they were playing.
and the night went on from there...
