Skagit Valley Tulip Festival
In what has become a cherished annual event, we spent last weekend in the Mount Vernon/La Conner area, enjoying the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. http://www.tulipfestival.org/ Along with the always fun visit to Cowtown, http://www.tulipfestival.org/news.php?article_id=59 (a small dairy farm & petting zoo) we enjoyed dinner and live music at the Skagit River Brewpub http://www.skagitbrew.com/ and swam in the hotel pool. Sunday, after stopping at Scott's Bookstore, we drove all over the valley, enjoying the tulips and daffodils. Lunch and shopping in La Conner are always part of the trip, as well as ice cream cones at "Big Daddy's" and some new toys at "From Grandma with Love" As we headed out, we visited an alpaca farm near the edge of town, which also had a small petting zoo. We finished our visit to a new (for us) winery called Carpenter Creek winery ( www.carpentercreek.com ) A small, very tasty winery!
