Roozengaard Tulip Gardens
I picked up my aunts and my mom bright and early on Friday morning and we hit the road with coffee and trail mix. It was a perfectly lovely day. We took the scenic drive north this year, rather than taking I5. I'd say it took us about 15 minutes longer than it normally does, but it was worth the extra time. The back road drive is beautiful. Slow at times, but beautiful.
It was really cold in the morning. We walked around a small garden and decided we were freezing. LOL Okay, so it was in the 40s but we were cold. So we drove around looking at all the fields, barns, cows, and gardens, then we stopped for lunch.
We strolled around Roozengaard gardens during the warm afternoon sunshine. The gardens are amazing this year. However, they are more crowded than I've ever seen them before. We skipped going to Tulip Town on this day, but as we drove by, we can see their tulip fields are beautiful too.
My dear hubby said go... enjoy the day. He told me he'd fend for himself. Wow. IÂ loved that! I called a couple times just to be sure and he told me the boys had something to eat, and he would find things to do for the evening. So we made a really long day of it. We stopped into a few specialty shops in the late afternoon. Then drove the long windy back roads home. I was home by nine last night.
I feel very refreshed after a relaxing day in the gardens. I will post a big batch of photos later in the week.

I love the tulip fields. Unbelievably gorgeous! So glad that you had a good time. Hope all is bright and spring with you!
Gale, thanks! I can't believe how late the tulips are this year. There were several fields of tulips blooming, but there were a lot of fields getting ready to bloom in the next week or so.
Things are fairly bright and spring with me. Thanks!
Glad that things are bright and spring with you! We don't go up to the festival, but there is a smaller tulip field here in our town. Daffodills also, and another with camas lillies. We love to drive by, pause and just enjoy their beauty. I have looked at a lot of photos of the tulip festival and think it would be one of my favorites. I have a lot of festivals I would love to go to....
Thanks!. There are a lot of festivals I'd love to go to also.
I enjoy the flower fields and gardens. Imagine the cherry blossom festival in Wa DC. I don't really have a desire to go to DC, but the parks when the cherry blossoms are in bloom are so beautiful, I do think about going.
Camas lily fields would be beautiful to see. I like to drive by the iris field between our house and where Kevin works.
