Roadtripped to Skagit Valley for their annual tulip festival on Saturday. What an amazing sight. My favourite ones were the deep purple, almost-black flowers. I gained excitement about visiting after seeing aerial views of the fields on Thursday.

My footwear wasn’t exactly appropriate but it’s nothing a little soapy water can’t get off. I gave up worrying about dirtying my shoes very early on, especially when I wanted to go into the field.

The kites afloat in the air made me want one. For at least two summers now, I’ve been saying I want to go fly a kite. Maybe this summer will be the one I actually do so. There’s a spot in Steveston near the water (where my cousin lives and where ‘Once Upon A Time’ films!) where people are often flying kites…



As an aside, four liters of milk at the grocery store in Washington was $1.99. Unbelievable. Roadtrip again in three weeks. Across the border! Where it’ll hopefully be way warmer and sunnier! Exciting stuff.
