Salt Lake has a tulip festival? I was so excited when I got a flyer in the mail a few weeks ago for a Tulip Festival here in Utah at Thanksgiving Point. We had always gone to the Tulip Festival in Mount Vernon when we lived in Washington and loved it. So last Tuesday when Peter had a day off from work we headed down to Thanksgiving Point for the afternoon to enjoy the gardens. It was beautiful!!! At first we were a little bothered that it cost $8 per adult and $5 for children over 2 (in Washington it was free) but when we got in and realized that it was much more than some fields of tulips we got over the cost. The garden is 55 acres and is made up of many smaller "themed" gardens like Creek Garden, the Monet Garden, the Rose Garden, the Fragrance Garden, the Secret Garden, the Italian Garden, the Butterfly Garden, the Parterre Garden, the Vista Garden, and the Waterfall Garden. Not all of them had flowers in bloom but all were connected but sidewalks lined with tulips, daffodils and other gorgeous flowers. I loved it and was definitely inspired to get more creative with the landscape of our house. More on that to come...

What beautiful photos! I don't think I've ever seen our tulip festival with the sun shining.
Does the sun shine in Seattle? That tulip festival looks way more interesting than the one here. Sunday I asked the kids if they wanted to go after church and they sighed and said" I guess so if you want to take pictures...." end sigh. What fun it must have been to go on a weekday when it wasn't crowded, your pictures are beautiful!
Those are great pictures...thanks for sharing! I didn't know Utah had a tulip festival either!
