I hope you all had a great weekend! We had a lovely weekend here. \u00a0Spring is finally here and we&#8217;ve been enjoying our nice warm weather here in the PNW! Every April there&#8217;s the Tulip festival in the Skagit Valley,Mt. Vernon WA!The last time I visited the festival was 2 years ago (the traffic is one of the reasons why we don&#8217;t visit yearly). It&#8217;s usually 1 and 30 minutes drive from our place but with traffic we end up traveling for 4 hours. What nasty traffic! I guess everybody had the same idea on how to spent their Saturday. Anyways, the Tulips are so pretty, my favorite colors were the pinks and deep purple ones! After the festival we decided to have sushi somewhere in Everett. Enjoy the pics!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4077\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4077\" style=\"width: 538px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
