Timber and I finally found tulips that were blooming in Skagit Valley. We got there about two weeks early (best guess) for the tulips, but we finally found them at Tulip Town and Roozengarte. It was Easter Day and it was raining a lot, but we put on our rain gear and powered through. It was kind of tough to keep the lenses from getting water on the glass but we kept them pointed down whenever they were not being used. We also had to think about which way the wind was blowing and try to keep the glass protected when we did take pictures. After a successful but rainy Easter we left for Seattle on Monday. We stopped at the Seattle Premium outlets along the way. After that we pretty much went straight to the airport. We hit rush hour traffic along the way, but we gave ourselves plenty of time to get to the airport and get checked in. We bought gas for the prius just before returning it, and for our 400 miles of driving we paid only $19 to fill it up. This at $2.33 a gallon. Not bad! Overall it was a fun trip and I would definitely go back to the Seattle area to do more things.
