After the temptation to be a pansy and not enter the tulip festival I am really pleased I allowed myself to be persuaded to enter. After failed attempts at getting discounts--coupons, 40% off due to lack of blooms, group rates, lack of Michael--we all paid our 10 bucks and moved in. Surprisingly the flowers were much more exciting inside the gates than outside. Here a few of the pics I captured while strolling along the sidewalks.
