On Friday, Sully and I went with Kelly and Alistair up to the Skagit Valley to check out the Tulip Festival. However, we made it there and were told at the Tulip Festival information booth that all of the fields had been plowed under. Nice. However, there was one farm (the biggest tourist trap of them all, I'm sure) that still had some blooms, so we were able to get to see some tulips, at least! I don't think that Sully or Alistair really cared one way or another about the g.d. tulips, but it was a nice reason to get out and about for the day.
We also had lunch in the super cute little town of La Conner, Washington before we went to the tulip fields. I would definitely like to go back again! It was a really neat little town with restaurants, shops and a gallery here and there, and it is on the Puget Sound where the Skagit River runs into the Sound. If the commute wouldn't be so hellish, I might even consider living there! But, that's a big leap to make after one lunch outing. ;)
