Anacortes - Tulip Fields

Day five of our trip welcomed us with another gorgeous day as we headed out to see the tulip fields in bloom.  Our first stop was Schuh Farms (https://www.facebook.com/Schuh-Farms-286087151435556).  Noted for their produce, pies, milkshakes, and gift shop, we had discovered them on our previous visit to the Tulip Festival.



Tulip fields are amazing to see in person.  Between the colors, textures, and the geometry, they really deserved to be experienced up close.  One thing worth bringing is boots because some spots in the fields can be a little muddy in the early Spring.

Evening Stroll on the Tommy Thompson Trail - Anacortes

From Fidalgo Bay Resort, you can take the Tommy Thompson Trail southeast for another mile before you start to reach that part of the trail that runs past the oil refinery complex.  Built on an old railroad right away, the trail is enjoyable both on foot and on a bike.

The end of an absolutely delightful day.
