You can pretend you are in Holland and check out the Skagit County Tulip Festival. I'm definitely headed down there in hopes of lots of flower pictures!!
There's a little town called La Conner that sounds pretty charming according to the Vancouver Courier:
"...a charming little town about 150 kilometres south of Vancouver via Interstate 5, was founded in the 1860s, making it the oldest town in Skagit County. La Conner's natural scenic beauty and large number of Victorian-era buildings has attracted many writers and artists over the years and many galleries have since opened."
".. the centre of the U.S. tulip bulb industry, over 15 square miles of farms in Skagit County dedicated to tulips (and daffodils) burst into a riot of colour."
"..main street of La Conner, Wash. is five blocks of boutiques, cafes, restaurants and galleries..is an easy five-block walk full of boutiques, cafes, restaurants and galleries."
"..Getting there can be a lot of fun, too. You can blast down the I-5 in an hour, or take the scenic route via Bellingham and Chuckanut Drive."
