Tulip Festival

We are back from a GREAT vacation!  

We flew out of Seattle on Wednesday afternoon, so we took advantage of the day off work and school and left early in the morning so we could stop in La Conner for the tulip festival.  I love the tulip festival!  It is absolutely breathtaking to see the miles and miles of tulip fields, and the smell!  I wish I could bottle it! 

We walked around for about an hour, enjoying the flowers and letting the kids burn off some energy before they got on the plane.  

But of course, we couldn't leave without taking the traditional "Garreth calendar pose" picture.

We had some lunch in Mt Vernon at a great little bakery/cafe on the riverfront, then headed to the airport.  We had a great flight.  Virgin America is our new favorite airline EVER.  It seriously rocks.  We walked onto the plane to the beat of club-vibe music with hot-pink track lighting.  The black leather and white plastic seats were very hip and IKEA-ish, but the best part of all was the TV/radio/movie/video game consoles built into the back of every seat.  We plugged the kids into some earphones and enjoyed a very peaceful flight to LAX!
