Where is your favorite Spring day trip?
Take a minute to smell the tulips!
One of my favorite Spring day trips that we have taken while living in Dusseldorf is just a few hours into The Netherlands to Keukenhof Gardens! Open this year from March 21st-May 20th, this 32 hectare garden is the "most photographed place in the world!" It doesn't just have tulips either...there are over 7 million tulips, daffodils and hyacinths all in bloom at the same time! Take a peak at the flowers in bloom and make sure you stop and smell the tulips at the Keukenhof Gardens if you get the chance!
Oh and you must try the ham and mustard sandwich, it is to die for!!

My fave pics are 4 and 5. I'd love to go some where like this and take pics. I love taking pics and this is just breath taking. Wow....
ReplyDeleteThanks! I was amazed that this is the most photographed place in the world! I believe there is also a Tulip Festival in Michigan that is worth seeing as well.
DeleteAbsolutely gorgeous. I'm still so sad that we're leaving Europe early. Seeing the tulips has been on my bucket list, so I'm bummed I won't see them now. I guess I'll just have to come back to Europe for a visit in the future!
ReplyDeleteJessica-Why are you heading out early? I bet you are sad, there is so much to see and do. You are right, just come back and visit!
DeleteI loved my visit to the netherlands. So beautiful. Tulip season is one of the most beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt is a gorgeous time of year here and the tulips are so cheap! I try to fill the house with them while I can.
DeleteI would love to smell the tulips!! These are just gorgeous! Just dropping in from Lets Get Social Sunday to thank you for joining in and to follow via GFC and Bloglov' :)))

Thanks for stopping by Evelyn! The tulips fields are amazing at this time of the year. One of the perks of living in Europe.
Deletewow, how gorgeous! I love all the colours :)
ReplyDeleteThx Tatiana! Glad that you enjoyed the photos!
DeleteHah! I live in Michigan but didn't know about the tulips. Probably Holland, Michigan, yes? :)
ReplyDeleteI love your pictures. I did know about the tulips abroad. :)
Yep, Holland MI it is :) Glad that you enjoyed the pics!
DeleteWow! Those colors are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSpring in Scotland was nice. Spring in Florida is HOT! :)
I would take HOT right now!! It's like Srping keeps teasing us, one day warm then a week of cold and rain. Oh I miss the sun!!
DeleteOh my goodness! Those tulip fields are amazing!!!!
ReplyDeleteThey are so amazing!
DeleteAhhh I was so sad that we didn't get to go see the tulips when we were living in Germany last year - tulip season is probably my favorite time of year!
ReplyDeleteAlyx, where in Germany were you? You will just have to go to Holland and see them :)
DeleteWowzers - those flowers are gorgeous! And there's so many of them lol! Thanks so much for joining us at last week's All my Bloggy Friends .... We look forward to seeing what you share this week!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jamie! There were a TON of gorgeous flowers to photograph...I could have spent all day there!
DeleteI worked for a florist...I was always amazed by tulips and their quest for growing toward the light/sun. When they arrive from overseas, they are dry packed in long, shallow boxes with holes cut in along the sides for ventilation. While in their packing state, the small amount of light allowed through the ventilation holes is enough to encourage them to grow toward it - resulting in some pretty gnarly looking, crooked tulips when un packing.....but sure enough, once bundled, wrapped and set in floral buckets, they straighten out, as to reach the overhead fluorescence/artificial sun.
ReplyDeleteStopping by from Bloggy Friends link-up!!
That is such a cool fact! Now that you say that, I do notice that any tulips that I have in my house reach for the light!
DeleteHi, I'm a co-host on THE Bloglovin' Collective and I'm followeing you with pleasure :)

Thx so much, hope I keep you entertained!!
DeleteThe photographs of the tulips are great - really vibrant colours! I enjoyed looking through your blog too (I saw you - and now follow - on Twitter).
ReplyDeleteMolly
Thx so much for stopping by! I am enjoying your blog as well!!!
DeleteThat is very pretty! I've never been to this garden, even though I used to live quite close to it, but maybe someday I get to see it ;)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite springtime visit would probably be our local Patterson Farms - in spring and summer they have fields of strawberries where locals come with their kids and not only pick strawberries but also do hay rides and visit the store etc. It's neat and great for building family memories.
