We were a bit concerned about the weather as we headed towards the tulips, when we hit Everett, we encountered a downpour of hail. However, weather.com insisted that the rain would hold off until the evening. Our other concern was massive crowds (Matt hates crowds as well as traffic). We were pleased to find the area with no issues and find parking that wasn't a huge trek away from the fields.
There was a small line of people waiting to get tickets for the Roozengaarde "farm" but we were thankful that it moved quickly. We were very pleased that we didn't get rained on, the weather was mostly cloudy with some sun breaks and the temperature was quite nice.
Not long ago, we purchased a hiking backpack from REI for Cadence to ride in and she really liked it. We've snapped her in it and worn it around the house to acclimate her to it but she really liked being outside looking at people and the many brilliantly colored flowers. After a while, since we were taking so many pictures, one of the three of us simply held her. She was very well behaved overall, despite missing part of her nap and towards the end, being over stimulated with the action around her. Not surprisingly, she fell asleep on the way home.
We had a great time checking out the gorgeous flowers and look forward to visiting the Tulip Festival next year.
