Visit Skagit Valley Festival

Spring is here and another recommendation with Jesse is visiting the annual Skagit Valley Tulip Festival.  A warm winter means the tulips will bloom a bit early for the second straight year. Enjoy the colorful blooms and fields with Tam and friends in Mount Vernon. The festival runs from April 1 through April 30 depending on weather conditions.  It is a destination event for the Pacific Northwest held annually.  

Every spring thousands of people tour and visit the tulip fields in bloom.  It is a short drive from Seattle and Vancouver, BC.  The fields are scattered throughout the Skagit Valley with many local events and activities throughout the festival.  The walking or biking tours are perfect day trip or weekend with friends and families. RoozenGaarde and Tulip Town with displays in gardens for visitors to view and photograph.  Bulbs and items are available for purchase at each location.

The festival is now 32 years and welcomes people across the United States and from around the world.  This is truly a places to visit for all ages and families during the month of April and spending time with nature.  There will be traffic on weekends and long waits on the road, so biking is a great way to view the fields.  A link for more information to festival  http://www.tulipfestival.org/
Parking maps and viewing times for preparing your trip and drive.  Enjoy the colorful blooms and takes plenty of photos.  You won't forget the sights of the fields.

Remember to Spring Forward

Remember to spring forward. Lose an hour of sleep this weekend as we observe daylight saving time.  The longer days will mean more time to spend outdoors.  The Seattle cherry blossoms are starting to bloom or take a drive to see the tulips in April and have a regal time.

Set those clocks 60 minutes ahead before you hit the hay Saturday night. The time change officially starts Sunday at 2 a.m. local time.  The change in time will allow more time to spend outdoors with more light during the day.  Ride your bike to work or plan hikes on the weekends,.

Consider putting in new batteries in warning devices such as smoke detectors and radios — and repeat the exercise when standard time returns Nov. 6.

The time change is not observed in Hawaii, most of Arizona, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam and the Northern Marianas.

There Are No Limits

There Are No Limits - Life is filled with many twisting paths with some straight and forward, while others leading to the unknown.  Don't allow the unknown change your thoughts and burden the path.  Stay on task and follow your inner whispers and it will lead you in the right direction.   learn more  http://bit.ly/1LxOCB2     Jesse    

There will be obstacles, but there are no limits.  Hard work is never easy, but things can get done with one small step at a time.  Keep the pace and focus with an open mind.
