Tulip Festival


We went to the Wooden Shoe Tulip festival on Monday and it was so gorgeous! It's in Woodburn off of the Newberg hwy. The festival is 40 acres of tulips of all kinds. It's quite breathtaking. Mt Hood sits in the background surrounded by dozens of diiferent colors. I never knew there were so many different types of tulips. Bella had a good time. She was wide-eyed the entire time. She wanted to touch and at one time taste everything around her. I highly recommend it to anyone who wanta to get out of dodge and not have to go very far. I would suggest going on a weekday. It's 5/car on weekdays and $10/car on weekends. Plus on weekdays there's far less traffic. It's a one lane hwy. the entire way to the farm once you turn off I-5. I imagine a weekend day would be pretty swamped.

I love this picture with Mt. Hood in the background





Bella was quite finished. She was so tired she just pooped out right in Joe's arms

this reminds me of my train rides through Provence. Absolutely stunning.

We love that tulip festival!!!
We tried to go on Saturday and it took almost 2 hours just to get to the exit- traffic was SO BAD...
We'll try again on a weekday :)
