tulips!

Yesterday Jason & I decided to embrace our Dutch heritage. We spent some time amongst the tulips of the famous Holland Tulip Time Festival. Funny how I’m thirty years old and have never been to this festival, but visiting the Veldheer Tulip Farm was quite a learning experience! I literally took two rolls of pictures—yes, a past time for me that I actually had fun with.

Not only was there a variety of flowers (mainly tulips) but also a variety of people. Jason & I joked that we were probably the only two Dutch thoroughbreds there! They should’ve put us on a display somewhere at Festival. Label reading: “The last of the Dutch line native to Holland, Michigan. Circa 2007.” People could stand with us to have their picture taken.

Craziness. Who would’ve thought that a tulip could be a tourist attraction? Apparently us Dutch people are easily entertained. ;)

I lived in Michigan from 1989-2006 (minus our year in Gary) and never went to Tulip Time! It was always during exams. We almost went last year, but it was so rainy and cold. I heard it is turning more into a multicultural festival. They said it is funny to see Hispanic women in Dutch dresses and wooden shoes.

Next time you're in Holland, you guys should eat at the New Holland Brewery which is downtown on the main street. They have great pizza and beer. It's one of my favorite restaurants. They have tulip flavored beer during Tulip Time.
