Holland Tulip Festival 2008

 

Elaine always makes time for adventures!  This year she invited us to Holland for the Tulip Festival on May 10.

Only Donna and I ended up being available to go, but the three of us had a BLAST!

The Gates

The Ambassador

Oceans of tulips

They plant over 5 million a year!

I always try to capture this!

Lots of out-of-country visitors!

The ridiculously old man that we asked to take a picture of all three of us couldn't figure out how to use the new-fangled digital camera...

So we had to settle for only two of us at a time...

....and in case you can't see the look of displaeasure on my face, here's a close-up.  Haha, I love it!

Finally, we snagged a family that was capable of doing reciprocal group photography!

This makes me giggle!  Elaine said, "all right, I'll be the boy."  "Well at least it's a really effeminate boy," I consoled her.

Donna had raspberry, I had raspberry-rhubarb, and Elaine went with the highly recommended apple dumpling.
