Tulip Time!

We were off to the Skagit Valley this past weekend for the Tulip Festival. Because of our very cold spring, the tulips opened later this year, but they are not any less spectacular. Please see our pictures below:

Bakery and the Beach

We were off to West Seattle to check out a new French Bakery. It was fantastic, and the weather was beautiful for the beach:
