Every year at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi, Utah, there is a Tulip Festival. Tons of flowers, lots of greenspace and multiple walkways. Gray got off work a little early, and we did hit rush hour traffic on our way down. It was pretty crowded, lots of families with kids enjoying the gorgeous weather along with the floral views. There is progressive planting, so that there will be tulips and other flowers for the full month. We went on Wednesday, April 20. It was a fun date.
Of course Holland is known for their tulips. The Netherlands were a definite theme along with the flowers. There were wooden shoes hanging here and there (not sure if that was part of a scavenger hunt or something), some BIG shoes to fill, cute characters and a windmill.
With the last name Westra ... Holland is in our history! My (Jen's) ancestors on her father's side (great-grandparents) were born in the Netherlands, and immigrated in April in 1907 (Ate & Geeske Westra). My dad went to Holland on his mission (Netherlands posts on The Westra Way).
We'd gone to the Tulip Festival back in 2011 as a family.
