Day trip

akirawtulips.jpgEvery once in a while you have to get out of your routine. Akira and I both live and work in downtown Seattle, so it's refreshing when we find ourselves outside these urban bounds. (Those who know about our Ireland days will remember the farm we talked about, but we've been here a year and our vocabulary's somehow changed.)

Skagit Valley's tulips were pretty, but the signs directing you there were a little cheesy. People warned us about traffic, so we left with friends on a Sunday at 8 a.m. (their idea). A couple of families, some kids jumping around in the mud. After snapping this series, we got some purple potted tulips. They've seemed to take well to Capitol Hill.
