Blog Trip Day 5 – Sightseeing!

A day of sightseeing… get ready to snap on your seatbelt ’cause we are gonna do some driving!

Arlington is a small farming community – rolling green hills, fertile valleys and the like.  Very beautiful!

Ryan Falls just north of Arlington

It is very pretty here – very small town.  If you came in the Spring we would head up to Mt. Vernon to see the tulips – the fields are a rainbow!

Skagit Valley Tulip Festival

This usually happens around April… and if you are fortunate enough to get a sunny day, take advantage of it!  We usually end up trudging through fields in the rain… but they are still beautiful!

Now that we’ve tiptoed through the tulips, we are going to head out to my favorite part of Washington… to visit the Cullens.

We will have to take a ferry to get there though, but it’s a short ride.

Crescent Lake

Yes, Twilight was set in some very picturesque country.  The Olympic Peninesula is my favorite vacation destination… and we head out there every Summer to go camping.

Now we will head back towards civilization… stopping in Sequim for the lavender festival

I will be back later to tell you a bit more about my lovely state!  Right now, though, I have to get the girls to school.

Seattle, here we come!
