On Friday we got up, checked out of our hotel, and walked down to Pike Place Market again, this time with lots of hustle and bustle. As we walked around we snacked on some treats, checked out the first Starbucks every, and took some photos. After we were done we went back to the hotel, picked up our bags and car, and the proceeded to check out a double decker Krispy Kreme near the Seahawks football stadium, visit the REI flagship store, and get out of town. It took roughly an hour to make it up to Skagit Valley. We are staying in Burlington.

On Saturday we got up, had breakfast, and headed out to find Tulips and Daffodils. We stopped at an information center where they gave us directions to the tulip fields and to Laconner. There was a parade going on there so we rushed to get there in time. Once we got to town we watched the parade and then we took a float plane trip to check out the tulip and daffodil fields from the air. It was a great experience. After the flight we had a late lunch and then decided to go check out Snow Goose Produce. Timber told me that they have 48 different kinds of ice cream and other goodies. Once we got there we saw thousands of snow geese flying around the nearby fields and tried to take a few decent pictures of them. Unfortunately they were so far away that we probably didn't get any good shots. After Snow Goose Produce we decided to drive to Anacortes and see where the ferry terminal (that takes you to the San Juan Islands and to Vancouver Island) is located. It was a nice drive and we saw a few bald eagles along the way. We also stopped to take lots of photos of the daffodils. I don't know how many there were out there but I would guess high hundreds of thousands or millions. After that we stopped in downdown Anacortes to have some Thai food for dinner. After that it was time to call it a night.
