Sunday Drive on Saturday

Today we decided to not do yard work or housework or any work at all! We went up to Skagit Valley, looked at the daffodills and then headed up Chuckanut drive to Bellingham.  The rain held off till the very end of our drive.
The first field of daffodills we stopped at.  There were very few cars. This will change in about two weeks when the tulips are in bloom.
Lon wanted to walk in the fields, but we told him that it was not the thing to do.  He was good with that

All the daffodills! They are so pretty

We stopped by Rozengaard We were able to park at the building, and we did not have to pay the nominal fee to tour the garden!  Of course, the tulips are not all in bloom yet. It was still very pretty.
We have a photo of Lon as a very little guy on the same frog. Thought we would do an update.
Lon ditched his coat and ran all over the garden. He did not go into the flowers. He did like to sniff every the flowers.
Coming back at you!

Being goofy
Lon informed us that he is now wanting to go on hikes, and they should start NOW at this trail. Don't you think this would be a good idea? Huh, Mom? Let's go hiking, NOW. We did a little walking on this tiny trail, then we got back into the car and headed up to Bellingham.  We ate lunch at a little place called Win's Drive In. I had a Hawaiian burger. Yummy, Lon had a corn dog, and Mark had fish and chips. And they had pineapple shakes! It was a good day.
